11 - inch MacBook Air battery compatibility

Hi guys!

I have an old end 2010 11 inch MacBook Air. Is it possible to replace this laptop battery with a battery from a newer model with a higher capacity?

Obviously, the laptop has is no longer guaranteed, so I'm not afraid to experiment.

I would be grateful links to manuals, tutorials, guides, etc.. Thank you in advance!

I wouldn't do it.  Note the spare batteries available on the website of OWC:

https://eShop.MacSales.com/search/battery+MacBook

They have a specific battery of 2010, then a different battery for 2012 and newer models.  It is fair to say that they are different.

OWC also has instructions for Setup here:

Ciao.

    Hi all, hope you can help me with this. My model of Macbook Air early 2014 seems to have some problems with its battery. The battery status says "do not load" and it is stuck at 74%. My charger light is still red and I tried to check the status of the battery, it is said to be normal; also I have reset the SMC and all that stuff that is suggested on the discussion Forum, but still it is of no use. Someone had a similar problem before?

    Try resetting the SMC two times more.

  • Best thing to do when the MacBook Air battery said "replace soon".

    I've had this for awhile now. When I click on my battery, it says "replace soon".

    What should I do about it? Replace the battery myself or send it? I don't have a warranty on it more.

    Is it to Apple to get it replaced. My Macbook Air came with the same message several months ago. I took a Genius Bar appointment, left for a few hours while I did some shopping and came back to pick it up. I checked it before I left, and everything was good to go since then.

    It was $ 136 with tax, but the peace of mind and knowing that my Mac is back in perfect condition, it was well worth it for me. My Mac is out of warranty for several years.

    Good luck

  • 11 - inch MacBook Air can move 16 GB memory ram?

    Can a MacBook Air 11 inches go to 16 GB memory ram?

    If this is not the case, what Macbook can go up to 16GB of memory ram?

    I prefer to buy the cheapest and then buy my own ram put in me, but I've heard some macbooks now, you cannot install your own memory, must come installed in the factory.

    It is not possible to update the RAM after purchase on a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro with Retina display or a MacBook 2015 or newer. Click here for the list of possible RAM maximum for each Mac model.

  • MacBook Air 11 "(mi-2011) material issue"

    Hi, I had a MacBook Air "Core i5" 1.6 11 "(mid-2011) a few months ago by my sister. I'm new to Mac, but I've been fixing PC for more than 20 years. Need a little advice on the model of this issue.

    Full specs are here MacBook Air (11 inch, mid 2011) - technical specifications

    Short story is that the Macbook Air was dead. After buying the screwdriver specialized to open the macbook air, I managed to get out the internal SSD Flashdrive on but as Apple uses customized connectors I had to buy an external case to test the drive and he was DEAD.

    So I installed El Capitan on an EXTERNAL drive plugged into the USB. It's a plus for Apple to initialize external drives and a nice feature.

    Once I got the macbook air I found following several breakdowns of equipment.

    1 SSD drive is dead

    2 camera and the Microphone is dead. No facetime.

    3 the POWER BUTTON is dead and holding down the macbook air will not shut. (I had to unplug the connector from the motherboard) This allowed me to switch on/off the computer buy pulling on the magsafe power supply.

    I have been fixing computers based on Windows for decades and never seen so many parts fail both.    WHAT CAN CAUSE THIS?

    At first I thought it was the logic board at fault, but I doubt that is the case. I can only assume a power SURGE or something to do as much damage.

    I was hoping to get this up and running for my daughter from school to save money, but unfortunately not the case. The price of all the ssd drive is high and he still has a chance to not work if the logic board is also damaged.

    THEN AND MATERIAL SPECIALISTS MACBOOK GOT SOME ADVICE?

    It's true that to fix the power button that is dead the keyboard needs to be replaced?

    Advice would be useful. For now I am able to use with the base of the cover off and the battery disconnected but is now portable way.

    Thank you very much

    Like you, I had business with the PC and computers relatively old. You have quite the list, and you probably answered your own question. I have studied logic board only and lives at $ 200-300 min. purchase from a reliable source of Apple pieces. In my opinion.

    Put the Mac Air 2011 all back together and its trade.

  • MacBook Air freezes

    Initially 2015 11 inch Macbook Air 128 GB i5 freezes every now and then. When it freezes, I can not move the mouse or anything like that and I see no beachball. Anyone know what could be the problem?

    These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

    Please launch the Console application in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Step 1

    For this step, the title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select

    SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ all Messages

    in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select

    List of newspapers seen ▹ display

    in the menu at the top of the screen bar.

    In the upper right corner of the Console window, there is a search box to filter. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes).

    Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now, clear the search box to display all messages. Select those recorded before starting, during the time that something unusual was happening. Copy to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.

    For example, if the system is unresponsive or unable to stop for three minutes before you forced a reboot, post the timestamped messages within three minutes before the start time, not after. Please include the message BOOT_TIME at the end of the extract from newspaper - not at the beginning.

    If there is a long series of messages, please post only one example of each. Do not post of many repetitions of the same message.

    When you post a journal excerpt, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    Please don't dump blindly thousands of lines in the journal in this discussion.

    Please do not post screenshots of log messages - text poster.

    Step 2

    In the Console window, select

    DIAGNOSIS AND diagnostic USE information reports ▹ System

    (not diagnose them and use Messages) in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select

    List of newspapers seen ▹ display

    in the menu bar.

    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points downwards. You will see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the process crashed and ends with ".crash". A report of panic has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends with ".panic." A report of stall stop has a name ending with ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The content of the report is displayed at right. Allows you to copy and paste to validate all of the content, text, not a screenshot. It is possible that none of these reports exist.

    I know that the report is long, perhaps several hundred lines. Please report all this anyway.

    If you don't see any report, but you know, there was a crash or panic, you can have selected diagnostic and using the list of Log Messages. INFORMATION on the USE of DIAGNOSTIC AND choose instead.

    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you change the UUID ' anonymous, ' a long string of letters, numbers and dashes in the header of the report, if it is present (it cannot be). "

    Please do not post other types of diagnostic report - they are very long and rarely useful.

    When you post the journal excerpt or the accident report, you might see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the forum software. Thanks for posting the text on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

    If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.
