Compatibility – Which Laptops Does This Battery Fit?
This 49Wh 3-cell internal battery is a direct OEM replacement for the following Apple laptops:
- MacBook Air 13 2020 A2179 (Intel)
Match the OEM part number on the sticker of your current battery before ordering. If your old battery part number isn't on this list but the laptop is, message us — there are often three or four interchangeable part numbers per chassis.
Battery Health – What We Test Before Shipping
Every battery on our shelf goes through a 5-point bench test before listing:
- Capacity — we measure actual usable Wh and only ship packs at 95%+ of rated capacity.
- Cycle count — read from the embedded BMS chip; we don't sell anything over 100 cycles.
- Cell balance — all 3-cell internal cells within 50mV of each other.
- Charge/discharge cycle — verified full cycle without thermal anomaly.
- Visual — no swelling, no bulging, no scorched contacts.
This rigorous process ensures you receive a battery that works like new, even though it's used. We've been doing this for years at nnlaptops.com – trust the experts in Hafeez Center.
Installation – How to Swap the Battery
Internal 3-cell batteries on modern Apple laptops require opening the back panel (8-12 Phillips screws, sometimes Torx T5). Disconnect the AC adapter, unscrew the panel, locate the battery connector on the board, gently lift the ribbon connector latch, unscrew the battery hold-down screws, lift out the old pack, and reverse the steps with the new one. Total time: 10-15 minutes.
Free Installation in Shop
If you're in Lahore, bring the laptop to Hafeez Center — installation is free with battery purchase. We'll also calibrate the new pack (full charge → full discharge → full charge) so Windows / macOS reads the correct capacity from day one.
How Does It Compare to Aftermarket Batteries?
Unlike generic replacements that may lose 20% capacity after 200 cycles, this original Apple battery maintains consistent performance. The BMS is tuned for your Mac's charging algorithm, preventing overvoltage or undercharge that can shorten lifespan. For the price of Rs. 14,799, you get a battery that's been bench-tested and verified to deliver the same runtime as when the laptop was new. If you're on a tight budget, we also stock high-grade compatible cells – just ask on WhatsApp 0314 4000131.
Real-World Battery Life – What to Expect
With this 49Wh pack and balanced Windows / macOS settings (70% brightness, Wi-Fi on, mixed use), expect:
- Web + Office work: 5-7 hours
- Video playback: 6-8 hours
- Code compilation / Photoshop: 2-3 hours
- Gaming or heavy GPU load: 60-90 minutes
These figures match Apple / Dell / HP / Lenovo published specs for the listed models. If your old battery was giving you 2 hours, the new one will restore the original full runtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the laptop recognise this battery in Windows / macOS?
Yes — every battery we sell is BMS-flashed with the correct cell-pack ID for the laptop, so Windows / Lenovo Vantage / Dell Power Manager / macOS Battery Health show full information including cycle count and design capacity. No 'plugged in, not charging' driver errors.
How much battery backup will I get on my MacBook Air 13 2020 A2179 (Intel)?
With this 49Wh pack at default Windows balanced settings, expect 5-7 hours of mixed-use battery life (web, Office, video). Brightness at 70%, Wi-Fi on, no heavy GPU workload. Gaming or compiling drains in 90-120 minutes — that's normal for any laptop battery this size.
How long will the new battery last?
A fresh quality cell-pack should give you 400-600 full charge cycles (about 2-3 years of daily use) before noticeable capacity drop. Avoid leaving the laptop plugged in at 100% all day — keep it cycling between 40% and 85% for longest cell life.
Is this a genuine OEM battery or aftermarket?
Our stock comes in both genuine Apple pulls (tested cells, original casing, often the higher price) and high-grade A-class compatible cells (tested for capacity at 95%+ of rated Wh). Tell us which you want on WhatsApp 0314 4000131 — both carry the same 30-day check warranty.
