Which battery did you get for it?
- Fnoord 9y agoThis one (new) [1]. Note I'm from EU, so I bought it from the iFixit EU store located in Germany. Delivery took a few days during Black Friday peak. Little bit more than half a week IIRC. When I first checked earlier this year they weren't in stock, so I asked when they'd be in stock which was soon. Once they were in stock I lacked time IRL so had to postpone order. Hence I only replaced it a good month ago. Had to order some kit and accessoires to open up the machine (was on sale during Black Friday) including the magnetic project mat which you can use to group the screws (you can add notes as well on it). 10/10 recommend that! (I'm not affiliated btw.) I recommend to just check the guides. They're good, and if you need help you can ask questions over there. The people there are much more knowledgable on this subject than I will ever be. Only bad thing is that the guide told me to not worry about disconnecting the iSight camera. I managed to break that cable. That was during thermal paste application guide though; not battery replacement. The other disconnections of cables all went very well or flawless. Nothing broken in these departments. In a way, no iSight is a plus anyway.

- boundlessdreamz 9y agoThank you. Unfortunately I'm not in EU and package forwarders don't accept lithium batteries anymore.
- Fnoord 9y agoIf you're in US, there's also iFixit US. Just check the main site [1] and see if its possible. You can select language on top right. [1] https://www.ifixit.com https://www.ifixit.com
