New Li-ion batteries typically benefit from a few initial “charge-discharge” cycles to calibrate their capacity and optimize performance. This process involves fully charging the battery to 100% and then allowing it to discharge completely to 0% before recharging it fully again. Performing this cycle 2-3 times can help ensure the battery’s internal sensors accurately reflect its capacity, leading to more reliable performance and longevity. However, frequent deep discharges should be avoided to prevent unnecessary wear on the battery. For regular use, it’s best to keep the battery between 20% and 80% charged.

If your replaced MacBook battery isn’t lasting as long as expected, check for background processes or apps consuming excessive power, calibrate the battery, and ensure you’re using the latest macOS. A New Li-ion battery requires “charge-discharge” cycles.

Yes, it is possible. By design, Apple built the latest Macbooks in a way that the battery is not customer-replaceable. It is glued to the casing so Apple and Apple authorized services are replacing the entire top case along with the Keyboard and TrackPad.
