Apple Lithium-ion Batteries
They’re inside every iPhone, iPad, iPod, and MacBook, helping you do all kinds of things in all kinds of places. Find out more about your battery to get the most out of it throughout its lifespan — and beyond.
Why Lithium-ion?
Rechargeable lithium-ion technology currently provides the best performance for your device. Compared with older battery types, lithium-ion batteries weigh less, last longer, and charge more efficiently.
Maximizing Battery Performance
The single biggest factor affecting battery life and lifespan is the mix of things you do with your device. Videos and games? Or email and word processing? No matter how you use it, there are ways to extend your battery’s performance.
Service and Recycling
All rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be serviced. If you find yourself charging your device more frequently, it might be time for a new battery.
