MacBook Battery A1964 - OEM Quality For 2018–2019 MacBook Pro 13-Inch
This MacBook Battery A1964 - OEM Quality delivers the same fit, form, and performance you expect when servicing MacBook Pro 13-Inch units with Touch Bar from 2018 and 2019. It is built to match original energy density, charge behavior, and gas‑gauge communication so you can close tickets quickly and keep returns low. It arrives ready for calibration and pairs correctly with the logic for accurate percentage reporting.
The pack uses high grade lithium‑polymer cells with a nominal capacity of 58.0–58.2 Wh at 11.4 V, which equates to roughly 5,090–5,100 mAh. The integrated battery management system provides cell balancing, thermal cutoff, overcharge, and overcurrent protection for dependable field performance. The enclosure and flex layout mirror the original assembly, ensuring proper alignment with the top case and trackpad brackets.
Key Technical Data And Compatibility
The A1964 assembly is compatible with MacBook Pro 13-Inch With Touch Bar model A1989 (2018) and A2151 (2020). It is not intended for earlier Touch Bar models or non‑Touch Bar variants. The chemistry is multi‑cell lithium‑polymer configured for a nominal 11.4 V system voltage. Typical capacity is 58.0–58.2 Wh with smart charge reporting through the on‑board gauge IC. Expected lifespan is up to 1,000 charge cycles under normal use when calibrated and maintained correctlyp>
The flex cable and screw points align with the original sub‑brackets, and the footprint supports the dual‑cell layout on each side of the trackpad well. Charge and discharge curves follow the original profile to maintain consistent standby and runtime figures after SMC resets. Operating temperature range is suitable for standard workshop conditions, and storage is recommended at 40–60% state of charge. To be used with MacBook model number: A1989 and A2251
Installation Notes For Repair Shops
You will need a P5 pentalobe driver for the lower case, a T5 torx for internal brackets, plastic cards or picks, and high‑purity isopropyl alcohol to soften adhesive. You should disconnect the battery before any board work, remove the trackpad bracket for safe access, and release the adhesive gradually to avoid bending the cells. You should reseat and torque brackets evenly to prevent trackpad click issues.
After installation you should perform an SMC reset, charge to 100%, keep the unit at idle for 30 minutes, and then run down to around 5–10% before a full recharge. This calibration helps the gas gauge learn the pack and improves percentage accuracy. You should verify cycle count and full charge capacity with macOS diagnostics or your bench tester before closing.
Sourcing And Service Advantages For Refurbishment Work
This OEM quality A1964 is a strong choice for batch refurb lines and retail repairs where consistency matters. It supports predictable turnaround because the geometry, connector fit, and adhesive footprint match the original layout, reducing rework and post‑service callbacks. It is suitable for keyboard‑or trackpad‑related top case jobs where the battery must be removed and refitted.
Use this assembly when restoring runtime on MacBook Pro 13-Inch A1989 or A2159 units showing swollen cells, rapid percentage drops, abnormal shutdowns, or high cycle counts. Pair it with fresh adhesive and ESD‑safe handling, store spares at room temperature between 15–25 °c, and maintain partial charge during longer storage to protect capacity.
