Hello!


I am currently in need to replace my MBP 13 Early 2015's battery. The old one is starting to swell and the only one that I found nearby(I m from a country with no official apple support, no shipping from ifixit, no nothing:( ) is an 2014 A1502 Macbook Pro 13 Battery. I asked around at a Macbook service from around me and they told me that the there are compatible, the only downside being that the 2014 battery has a tad lower capacity than the one from 2015.(6300mah vs 6600 for the 2015).


What's your opinion about this? are the two compatible? Should I have any problems with this? I am pretty desperate co change my battery, for obvious reasons, but I can t afford to part from may laptop weeks due to work related issues.


Thank You!

In case you didn't know...replacing the battery on a retina MacBook Pro is very very difficult.

As far as compatability...ifixit.com sells battery replacement kits for 2014 & 2015 retina MBP's...and they are different ($99 vs. $119). Which may indicate a difference in the battery's.
