Use this guide to replace the BR2032 coin cell battery in your Mac Studio (2023).
The coin cell battery (sometimes referred to as CMOS or RTC battery) helps maintain system settings when your device isn't connected to power.
Some signs you may need to replace the battery:
- The date and time are incorrect after your Mac has been turned off for an extended period of time.
- Your Mac isn't waking up from sleep or hibernation on schedule.
- Your Mac is experiencing startup problems.
Before starting this repair, read through Apple's troubleshooting guides on startup issues and intermittent shutdown or system instability and try the solutions that don't require taking apart your device.
