In case of any complications, I will write here again for more information :-) Good luck everyone! Battery Information:įYI - I used a razor blade knife to open a battery a while back, and if you cut the pouch the lithium ion is stored it will short and catch on fire making this green flame that will generate a lot of smoke that I assumed was toxic.

Battery got detected and has no problems with charging it. So while one connector has pins in this order +12īe aware! Without proper tools (like soldering iron, etc) and at least some technical skills you wont get too far. The control pins are on both connectors same. If you have both batteries, you need to disassemble them and exchange connectors between them. On each connector there is a mark for + and. If you would look closely you will see that the + and - pins are reversed between these two connectors. The above answer where you cut the fatter connector to fit is wrong. After small research (or I should rather call it experimenting) I found a solution :-) I came across this thread where pinouts were written. I was too lazy to return it and order new one, so I searched for another solution. Unfortunately I bough battery for newer version of MacBook Pro (15"). My battery "got pregnant" and was pushing out to the touchpad. Did you confirm battery health with Coconut Battery or iStat? Has this laptop experienced liquid damage? Please tell us more about why you believe the battery is dead. It seems to me that this laptop may have other problems that cause you to believe your battery is dead. Your battery is a little over a year old and should have plenty of life. Within reason I have given the information you requested. The typical MBP battery connector pinout is:

If you don't solder the wires and protect the connections with heat shrink tubes that may cause other problems. This will take away from their flexibility and may cause them not to sit correctly for the case to close properly. The wires must be soldered together and the connections protected by heat shrink tubes. The connector is a 9-pin type, 3 for ground, 3 for V+, SMC+ and SMC-, and one for system sense (center pin). Personally I recommend returning the battery and obtaining the correct one.
