Hi guys.

I'm thinking of replacing my MacBook Pro battery myself (MacBook Pro 15" Mid-2012, non-retina). It costs RM450+- for battery replacement in shops. It only costs RM200+- if i buy the battery from Lazada and replace it myself. I have the tools and I've seen youtube videos and it doesn't look that hard.

Has anyone bought batteries from lazada and replaced the battery themselves? How was it and how did it go? If not lazada, then where did you buy your replacement battery? Or do any of you have any (not to expensive) experience when it comes to battery replacement for MacBook pro? please share it with me.

Thanks everyone !!

I replaced mine DIY. Easy. Less than 15 mins with proper tools. Except mine was a 2010 white MacBook.
