Apple MacBook Air Battery Replacement: $129 new battery, Phillips head screwdriver

Following on from our post last week when the Apple MacBook Air was released, we heard then that if your battery failed it would cost $129 for a new one and you would get a free install from Apple (as they are non-user-replaceable batteries).

Well today we got a little bit more news about what it really takes to replace the battery in a Mac Air, apparently all you need is the new battery and a size 0 Phillips head screwdriver…the replacement can be done by you in as quick as 3 minutes.

Apple is still obviously recommending that anyone needing their battery replaced should take it to a Genius Bar.
