Introduzione
Use this guide to replace the battery in your MacBook Pro 14" late 2023 (M3 Pro and M3 Max).
The MacBook Pro uses stretch-release adhesives to secure the battery. Some of the strips are hidden underneath the trackpad, so you’ll need to remove it first to access the strips.
You'll need replacement battery adhesive in order to complete this repair.
Some photos in this guide are from a different model and may contain slight visual discrepancies, but they won't affect the guide procedure.
