The A1707 is the 15-inch MacBook Pro of 2016 and 2017, the larger Touch Bar model and the only 15-inch of that first USB-C generation, with a quad-core chip and discrete graphics that work the battery hard.
When the battery in your MacBook Pro 15-inch (2016–2017) starts giving out, you don't need a new Mac, you need a fresh battery fitted properly. That's exactly what MacTech Prodoes: new full-capacity cells, the old battery removed safely, and your Mac holding a real charge again the same day. Here's everything about this model and its battery, and how the replacement works in Dubai.

Quick check before booking, so you get the right battery and price. You can recognise the A1707 by the larger 15-inch body, four USB-C ports, the Touch Bar, Intel inside. To be sure, turn the Mac over and read the small print near the bottom edge (it will say “Model A1707”), or click the Apple menu and choose About This Mac. Not certain? Send MacTech Proyour model number and we'll confirm the right battery for you.
A MacBook battery is made of lithium-polymer cells, and every charge-and-drain adds to its “cycle” count, Apple rates this one for roughly 1,000 cycles before it's considered worn. After a few years of use the A1707's battery often reaches that point, holding noticeably less than when new. It's normal wear, not a fault, and the fix is simply a fresh battery. MacTech Profits new full-capacity cells matched to the MacBook Pro 15-inch (2016–2017). Dubai's climate speeds ageing up, so batteries here can wear a little faster than the numbers suggest.
If any of these sound familiar, the battery is the likely cause, and MacTech Prowill confirm it for free:
