Apple to Replace 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pro Batteries That Don't Charge Past 1%

Apple has announced that it will replace the batteries of 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pro devices that don't charge past 1%.

A very small number of customers with 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pro computers have experienced an issue with the battery not charging past 1%. The battery health status on these devices will also indicate "Service Recommended." If the status indicates that your battery is Normal, your battery is not affected by this issue.

If your 2016 or 2017 MacBook Pro exhibits these behaviors, contact Apple to get your battery replaced, free of charge. Your computer will be examined prior to service to verify that it is eligible for the free battery replacement.


Apple has released macOS Big Sur 11.2.1 which should prevent the issue from happening to other 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pro computers.

Here's a list of the models eligible for the program:
● MacBook Pro (13­-inch, 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
● MacBook Pro (13-­inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
● MacBook Pro (13-­inch, 2016, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
● MacBook Pro (13-­inch, 2017, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
