Long answer: I have 2013 MacBook air and managed to use the original battery till Mar 2021. What I liked about MBA is I don't have to carry my charger with me. I just charge it at night and use it during the day (less than 8 hours/day). The last couple of years I had to carry the charger and MBA suddenly switched off when battery had 50% left. With the new battery, I'm back to leaving my charger home.

With Macbook air it's super easy. It will not take more than 15 - 20 minutes
It should be good for 4-5 years 1000 charging cycle.
Bestbuy actually uses Apple battery from Apple. They are authorized service center.

You are looking are cycle count. Anything near 1000… its about to die.
Just like car batteries, all batteries die over time.

I use a simple app that I designed that just writes the start time into a text document. Every minute, it writes a new entry with the time - so I just take the starting time and then look for the ending time, and go from there. I usually will boot from an external drive that I've prepared as well in order to reduce other variables. You could probably find an app that does the same thing.
I'll throw a Youtube video up on the screen (one of those 10 hour loop videos with no ads), put the screen at full brightness, and let it run down from a full charge. Anything below 4 hours runtime goes back to the manufacturer.
It might be a bit of work for a one-off battery install, but it weeds out the duds pretty well.

That is exactly what I've experienced with my 2013 MBA. Good to know this battery replacement will fix the switching off issue.
Back around the time when I became a legend that people write stories about here on Slickdeals.
In 10 years, I've only replaced the battery once, so the 2nd battery is dire need of replacement...
Dope that this deal popped up.
