The 2-port MacBook Pro 13-inch from 2020, model A2289, is a great little machine — but like every laptop, its battery wears out with age and use. When it does, you don't need a new Mac. You need a fresh battery, fitted properly. That's exactly what MacTech Pro does — quickly, affordably, and with the old cells removed safely. This page walks through everything: how to spot that it's your model, what's going on inside that battery, the price, and how the whole thing works in Dubai.

Quick thing to confirm, because the 2020 13-inch Pro came in two versions and you want the right battery and price. The A2289 is the entry-level 2020 MacBook Pro 13-inch — the one with two Thunderbolt / USB-C ports (both on the left side), the Touch Bar, and an Intel processor. Its sibling, the A2251, is the higher-end four-port model.
To check: turn the MacBook upside down and read the small text near the bottom edge — it will say "Model A2289". You can also click the Apple menu and choose About This Mac. If it turns out yours is the four-port A2251, no problem — MacTech Pro handles that one too (it's priced separately); just let us know and we'll sort it.
A MacBook battery is made of lithium-polymer cells, and every time you charge and drain them, that counts as part of a "cycle." Apple rates the A2289's battery for around 1,000 full cycles before it's considered worn. After that, the cells hold noticeably less charge — so the same MacBook that once lasted all day starts needing the charger by lunch.
Heat speeds this up, and Dubai's climate doesn't help, so batteries here often age a little faster than the cycle count alone suggests. None of this is a fault with your Mac — it's normal wear, and the fix is simply a fresh battery. When you bring it to MacTech Pro, that's exactly what you get: new full-capacity cells matched to the A2289, not a tired or generic pack.
If any of these sound familiar, the battery is the issue — and MacTech Pro can confirm it for free:
⚠️ If the battery looks swollen — the base bulging or the trackpad pushed up — treat it as urgent. Stop charging it, and get it to MacTech Pro quickly. A swollen lithium battery is a safety matter, and MacTech Pro removes and replaces it safely, including proper disposal.
