Title
MacBook Pro 16" 2021 Battery Replacement
Introduction
Use this guide to replace the battery in your MacBook Pro 16" 2021.
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.
***For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your MacBook.*** This reduces the risk of fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, [[What to do with a swollen battery|take appropriate precautions|new_window=true]].
You'll need replacement adhesive in order to complete this repair.

Conclusion
***To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.***
For optimal performance, [[Battery Calibration|calibrate your newly installed battery|new_window=true]] after completing this guide.
Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before you install it.
Take your e-waste to an [[E-Waste|R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler|new_window=true]].
