Quick Answer
Battery replacement for the MacBook Pro 16-inch M5 Pro (2026) (model A3428) costs AED 690 at MacTech Pro in Dubai. It takes 2–3 hours, carries a 6 months warranty, and you can watch it done live at MacTech Pro, or use free pickup and delivery across Dubai. A fresh, full-capacity battery is fitted, the cycle count reset to zero, and the battery health-checked before your Mac goes back.
The A3428 is the 16-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro of 2026, Apple's newest 16-inch Pro. A battery service on a machine this new is typically about accidental damage, swelling, or warranty-excluded faults rather than age.
When the battery in your MacBook Pro 16-inch M5 Pro (2026) starts giving out, you don't need a new Mac, you need a fresh battery fitted properly. That's exactly what MacTech Pro does: 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 A3428 by the large 16-inch body, the M5 Pro chip in About This Mac, MagSafe 3. To be sure, turn the Mac over and read the small print near the bottom edge (it will say “Model A3428”), 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 A3428 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 Pro 16-inch M5 Pro (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).
