Battery Problem And Possibility Of Change Macbook Unibody Model A1342

Chosen Solution

hi, my MacBook is the late 2009 one, the capacity of the battery is like 89% ( coconut battery), i saw recently that a new MacBook has a battery long lasting, something like 10 hours ( againsti 6 like mine) do you know if its possible to change with the better one ? is really the battery to be more powerful or an improved management of the power ? please let me know, im’ really wondering if to change it!

Yes, they are interchangeable. See steps 3 and 4 of our teardown. Want to know how to do it? Here’s the guide. For a list of the differences and similarities between the two models, trust EveryMac.

Yes, you can but it adds 7.5 grams to your MacBook. The MacBook Unibody (Late 2009) sports a 60 W/Hr Li-Poly battery with a 7 hour battery life. The newest MacBook Unibody (Mid 2010) has a 63.5 W/Hr Li-Poly battery with a 10 hour battery life. As we said in our MacBook Unibody Model A1342 Mid 2010 Teardown: “Lo and behold, the new battery works in the A1342! You can get an extra 350 mAh of juice if you’re willing to add 7.5 grams to your “older” MacBook.”
