Hello. The battery of my MacBook Pro 13” 2018 are swollen, but the authorized merchant tells me that they don’t replace only the batteries and instead of 129$ of battery replacement I have to pay 425$ for replacement of all bottom part. So I don’t want to pay so much and I want to to this my myself.
I tried to find a battery, and I found it, (not original) but one of sellers told me that they don’t sell batteries for a1989 because of they aren’t compatible because of chip T2. Is it true? Can I buy the battery and replace it? Will I have some problems with T2 chip?
also, can I use my MacBook without battery while I’m waiting for the shipment of new battery?
