Our Quality Commitment: How We Manufacture Your Laptop Batteries
At Balder Power, transparency in our manufacturing process is the foundation of our partnership with you. We adhere to rigorous industrial standards to ensure that every battery you receive is stable, safe, and high-performing.
Every single cell entering our production line must pass through strict capacity grading. We utilize high-precision grading cabinets to measure the actual capacity, internal resistance, and voltage of each cell. By grouping only perfectly matched Grade A cells, we prevent premature degradation and ensure an extended cycle life for the final battery pack.
We utilize advanced high-speed automated assembly lines to weld individual lithium cells into unified packs (e.g., 3-cell or 6-cell configurations). Laser-controlled precision welding ensures ultra-low internal resistance and uniform connectivity across all nickel tabs, providing significantly higher structural integrity and current stability than traditional manual welding.
The Battery Management System (BMS) is the brain of the battery. Our protection boards are manufactured on fully automated SMT (Surface Mount Technology) lines. This automation eliminates human error, ensuring that every safety component—from overcharge protection to short-circuit safeguards—is soldered with microscopic precision for consistent electronic stability.
Superior final assembly is critical for efficient current conduction. Our expert technicians utilize professional pulse spot-welding equipment to join the completed cell packs with the BMS boards. This process ensures low-resistance connections that can easily handle the high-wattage demands of modern laptops while remaining structurally sound under thermal stress.
Quality is found in the details. Every battery undergoes a meticulous visual inspection after assembly. Beyond checking for aesthetic defects, we use precision calipers to verify that the housing matches 1:1 OEM dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit in the laptop bay without being too tight or too loose.
Every finished battery must undergo at least two full charge-and-discharge cycles on our aging racks. During this process, we monitor voltage curves and temperature changes in real-time. Only batteries that demonstrate flawless performance under high-intensity stress tests are approved for the next stage.
Every single cell entering our production line must pass through strict capacity grading. We utilize high-precision grading cabinets to measure the actual capacity, internal resistance, and voltage of each cell. By grouping only perfectly matched Grade A cells, we prevent premature degradation and ensure an extended cycle life for the final battery pack.
The final step is specialized packaging designed for global logistics. Each battery is sealed in an Anti-Static (ESD) bag and placed within custom-fitted, shock-absorbent lining. Our packaging meets international standards for Class 9 Dangerous Goods, ensuring safe arrival and a premium unboxing experience for your retail customers.

FAQ
Q1: Does this A2171 battery really fit the older A1708 model?
Yes. The MacBook Pro 13″ (Function Key version) A1708 uses the same battery form factor and connector as the newer A2159/A2289/A2338 models. Our A2171 battery is designed to be fully backward compatible, offering a higher capacity upgrade for A1708 users.
Q2: Is this battery compatible with the M1 and M2 MacBook Pro?
Yes, it is perfectly compatible with the MacBook Pro 13-inch M1 (2020) and M2 (2022) models, both identified as Model A2338. The BMS supports the communication protocols of Apple Silicon.
Q3: What is the benefit of buying this universal A2171 battery?
The main benefit for wholesalers and repair shops is inventory efficiency. Instead of stocking two different batteries (A1713 and A2171), you only need to stock this one item to service 5 years’ worth of laptop models (2016-2022).
