Cooling: Fan assemblies can be replaced separately from the battery.

Fans and heat sink

iFixit lists fan and heat-sink procedures for the late-2023 16-inch model. A cooling fault should be identified independently of battery wear.

Charging

Both USB-C and MagSafe ports have dedicated guides. The 16-inch model's internal assemblies should not be chosen from 14-inch listings.
