They'll make you angry at your 13" MacBookFor batteries? Don't despair. Apple has launched a worldwide exchange program to replace defective batteries. MacBookPro without Touch Bar manufactured from October 2016 to October 2017. Some of these machines contain a defective component, which can cause problems with the battery. However, it is not said to be a problem that threatens your safety. However, it is definitely worth taking advantage of the free replacement of the battery affected by this problem. Miniat least because your MacBook it worked exactly as it should.

Made my day, thanks!
"The serial number you entered is eligible for this program. Please choose one of the service options below."
Okay, so even if I don't have a problem with the battery, I can't use it.chat exchange?
What I'm looking at is 9 months. Number of cycles: 175. That's enough, isn't it?
Thanks.
Your first quoted sentence implies that you can. I recommend replacing it if you have a problem with the battery, otherwise later. The battery replacement program lasts 5 years from the first brick-and-mortar sale, i.e. until 2021.
So maybe in 2020 I can just replace it, just like that? I basically don't do anything demanding on the PC, I've already tested it, that it starts to heat up right away, it hums a little and the battery drops to about % every minute.
If something doesn't change, yes. I had the same problem with the IP6S when the first models (mine) also had defective batteries (I didn't notice any defects) and they replaced them at the authorized service without any problems.
Jojo, that's cool, I understood that too. I just wonder if they won't assess it individually if this problem really concerns me or if it is enough to state the serial number when making a complaint and they will simply replace it, and the second thing is if anyone has experience such that they would say 175 cycles in 9 months is a lot. because I don't use the MB much. Sometimes daily, but not more than a few hours.
It seemed to me at the beginning that the cycles were flying like crazy.
That MAC is simply weak, for normal surfing and things like that, which can be done on the iPad, it will last as it is, but as soon as you play chess on it, which was already there, it's at the end and I'm not kidding.. That's just for example...if by chance someone blames me for playing chess on a mac for 40k.
Thanks for the reply
