MacBook Air battery replacement

After four years of daily use our MacBook Air informed us that it needed a battery replacement. That's kind of nice to know, in particular as it still feels speedy and otherwise just works.

A new battery isn't that expensive and according to iFixit it appeared to be quite easy to replace it. I needn't to worry, it was actually super simple, given appropriate tools:

• Remove 10 screws from bottom case
• Open case
• Disconnect battery
• Remove 5 screws from battery
• Swap battery
• Reassemble everything back together
• Job done.

Although I cannot guarantee that it works for you as well, I would do it again.

Here are a few pictures of the surgery:
