Quick check before booking, so you get the right battery and price. You can recognise the A3448 by the larger 15-inch Air body, MagSafe charging, the M5 chip in About This Mac. To be sure, turn the Mac over and read the small print near the bottom edge (it will say “Model A3448”), or click the Apple menu and choose About This Mac. Not certain? Send MacTech Pro your model number and we'll confirm the right battery for you.
On a machine this new, the battery usually isn't “worn out” in the age sense, lithium cells are rated for about 1,000 cycles and the A3448 is unlikely to be near that yet. More often the issue is accidental damage, swelling, a manufacturing fault, or a battery Apple won't cover. Whatever the cause, MacTech Pro fits a fresh full-capacity battery matched to the MacBook Air 15-inch M5 (2026), and Dubai's heat can accelerate wear on even a recent Mac, so it's worth checking rather than ignoring.
If any of these sound familiar, the battery is the likely cause, and MacTech Pro will confirm it for free:
Swollen or bulging battery? Act promptly
A swollen battery is the one to act on quickly, it's a safety matter. If the case is bulging or the trackpad is lifting, stop charging the Mac and get it to MacTech Pro promptly; we remove and replace swollen batteries safely, including proper disposal.
Not sure if it's the battery? You can see your battery's condition in under a minute, before you book:
Click the Apple menu and choose System Settings (macOS Ventura and later) or System Preferences (Monterey and earlier).
Select Battery, then open Battery Health (labelled "Battery Health & Charging" on newer macOS).
