Apple Battery Part Number Identification

For Apple MacBook batteries, the most useful compatibility codes are usually printed on the battery itself or listed as Apple service part numbers. Searching by the battery number is more precise than searching only by MacBook model name, because similar MacBook models may use different internal batteries.

Quick steps

1. Shut down the MacBook and disconnect the power adapter.
2. Check the battery label if the battery is accessible. For internal batteries, ask a technician if you are not experienced with opening the device.
3. Look for codes beginning with A, Apple service numbers, or printed replacement part numbers.
4. Record the complete code exactly as shown, including slashes and dashes.
5. Compare the part number, MacBook model, year, connector and battery shape before ordering.

Compatibility tip: Apple model numbers and marketing names can be similar, so check the battery part number together with the MacBook model identifier and year whenever possible.
