A new MacBook battery from eBay
Look what the postman brought over the weekend in a very nicely wrapped package. No tapes, just ropes. Neat!

Inside a MacBook Battery
The battery on my MacBook is dying so I decided to just take it apart. You know, nothing stops my curiosity. I love taking things apart ever since young, though I wasn’t able to put most of them back together… last time. Hopefully, some things improved.
Of course, I’ve paid for my curiosity with nasty shocks – just last week, I got a nasty zap from a flash capacitor inside my Canon Powershot A70. I got so pissed I just shorted the capacitor to get rid of the current in it. Some months ago, I got super freakin’ zapped by the household 240V AC current while taking apart a Sun PSU. The house tripped.
Actually, this MacBook belongs to my sis, but she hated it so much so I swapped my laptop with hers, so technically, I’m taking apart her battery.
Anyway, here’s the takeapart journey. Small torx screwdrivers are needed to remove all ten screws on both sides of the battery.
