MacBook Air 13" A2179 (2020) Battery Replacement
Compatible models: A2179, EMC 3598
The MacBook Air 13-inch A2179 is the last Intel MacBook Air, released in early 2020 with a Retina display, True Tone and Touch ID. It uses a 49.9Wh battery and charges through either of its two USB-C Thunderbolt 3 ports. Intel efficiency is lower than Apple Silicon, and tasks such as video conferencing, browser-heavy workflows and external display use place real demands on the battery. After four to five years of this pattern, capacity loss becomes a practical problem rather than a statistic.
- Turnaround: Same day where possible, subject to stock and workload
- 6-month warranty on the replacement battery
- Walk-in near Liverpool Street Station or use our UK mail-in service
Signs your MacBook Air 13" A2179 battery may need replacing
The Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors in the A2179 draw more power under load than their Apple Silicon successors. Users moving from this machine to an M-series Mac often notice the battery difference acutely. On the A2179 itself, demanding tasks accelerate degradation.
- Battery draining significantly faster than it used to
- Device shutting down unexpectedly, particularly at lower charge percentages
- Only running reliably when connected to power throughout the day
- Battery percentage dropping suddenly or behaving inconsistently
- MacBook running warmer than usual during normal tasks
- Screen lifting slightly from the chassis (can indicate a swollen battery, book as soon as possible)
- True Tone display behaving inconsistently when running on battery power alone
- Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac > System Information > Power, then check Cycle Count and Condition
What is included
- Safe removal of the bottom case and existing battery
- Fitting of a quality replacement 49.9Wh battery cell
- Post-repair charging and power stability checks
- Full function test covering power, USB-C charging, keyboard, trackpad and display
- 6-month warranty on the replacement battery
How to confirm your model
Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac > System Report > Hardware Overview to check your model identifier.
This repair covers: A2179, EMC 3598.
The model number is also printed on the underside of the machine near the hinge. If you are unsure, bring the MacBook in and we will confirm the model before starting any work.
The A2179 charges via USB-C on either port. If charging only works on one of the two ports, the faulty port may need separate repair. We will assess both during the appointment.
