How much does Apple charge for a MacBook Air battery replacement out of warranty?

Apple charges $129–$159 for an out-of-warranty battery replacement on most MacBook Air models. The exact price depends on your specific model (M1, M2, or Intel). Check Apple’s battery service page before booking. I’d pay the Apple tax unless you’re broke and trust your local repair guy — a bad third-party battery can swell and ruin your laptop.
