Hi guys,
So about 3 years ago, I bought a 15” mid-2015 Retina MBP and had absolutely no issues with it.
Unfortunately, as you probably heard, this generation seems to have some battery issues, which determined Apple to start a recall program. Now, I’ve already checked my serial number [https://support.apple.com/15-inch-macbook-pro-battery-recall|here] and it came back negative. In other words, my particular machine is not affected by the issue.
The thing is that I bought this machine second-hand. And I don’t know (I don’t think so…but again, I can’t possibly know for sure) if the battery has been replaced or not. When I bought it, it had about 30 charging cycles. But again, I don’t know how long did the previous owner have it for, or if he replaced the battery.
So, my question is: is there a way to tell if the battery inside the machine is genuine? I went to About This Mac -> System Report -> Power, and there is a bunch of information in there. Some serial number, some Device Name…and stuff like that. Is there a way to check, based on that, if the battery is ok or not?
Coconut Battery shows this.
