Does AppleCare cover battery replacements?

Asked 5 months ago
AppleCare does provide coverage for battery replacements, but there are specific conditions that apply. If a battery retains less than eighty percent of its original capacity and the device is still covered under the AppleCare plan, the replacement should be done at no additional cost. It is essential to note that if battery damage is caused by accidental physical damage, it may not be covered under the plan, and any associated fees might apply. Additionally, AppleCare typically covers battery replacements for devices that are deemed defective due to manufacturing issues. Users are encouraged to check the details of their particular AppleCare plan, as terms may vary depending on the type and age of the device. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, visiting the official Apple website would be beneficial.
