This replacement battery from Fancy Buying restores run-time to compatible MacBook Pro 15" Retina machines (A1417 / A1398, Mid 2012 and Early 2013).

Will this battery fit my MacBook Pro model?

This battery is engineered specifically for MacBook Pro 15" Retina models identified by part numbers A1417 and A1398 from Mid 2012 and Early 2013. It will not fit later A1398 variants from Late 2013 onward or other MacBook families.

• Compatible identifiers: MD831LL/A, MC975LL/A, MC976LL/A, ME665LL/A, ME664LL/A.
• Not compatible with Late 2013 / Mid 2014 / Early 2015 A1398 versions.

How does performance and safety compare to the original battery?

Fancy Buying supplies a 95Wh, 10.95V replacement built from Grade A cells to deliver run-times comparable to the original pack. The internal protection circuit helps guard against common battery faults and supports stable charging behaviour when paired with a compatible MagSafe adapter.

• Rated capacity: 95Wh; nominal voltage: 10.95V for similar power delivery.
• Built-in protections: overcurrent, overcharge, overdischarge, and temperature control.
• Factory-direct supply and quality checks for consistent output and low self-discharge.

What comes in the package and how easy is installation?

The package includes one A1417/A1398 battery plus two screwdrivers to help with the battery replacement. Installation requires removing the bottom case screws and disconnecting the internal connector; if you’re comfortable with basic laptop disassembly you can complete the swap yourself, otherwise use a qualified technician.

• Included: 1 x A1417 / A1398 battery and 2 x screwdrivers for opening the case.
• Support: 24/7 email help from the seller and a 30-day money-back window.
• Tip: Power down, ground yourself, and follow a step-by-step MacBook battery guide or video.

How long will the replacement last and how should I care for it?

Longevity depends on use patterns, cycle count, and charging habits; with normal use a high-quality replacement can provide months to years of restored capacity. To maximize lifespan, avoid extreme temperatures, minimize deep discharges, and use the MacBook plugged in when performing heavy tasks.

• Use moderate charge cycles; avoid leaving discharged for extended periods.
• Keep the machine cool and avoid direct heat sources while charging.
• Regularly update macOS for optimal battery reporting and power management.

Who is this for: This Fancy Buying A1417 replacement is aimed at owners of MacBook Pro 15" Retina notebooks from Mid 2012 and Early 2013 who need a reliable, cost-efficient battery swap. It’s suitable for DIY-savvy users who can perform internal replacements or for technicians replacing worn packs for clients. If you require compatibility with Late 2013–2015 models, choose a battery specifically labeled for those years instead.
