Hello BDG2014,


Yes,


you can replace your MacBook Air 13" 2017 battery by yourself, but it is not recommended by Apple. You can find out more at this link:


Get help with your Mac laptop battery - Apple Support



So, if you decide to receive service for your MacBook Air from a professional, then visit this link:


Mac Service & Repair - Apple Support


This is their estimate if you don't have AppleCare+. If you do (though you probably don't by now), you might be eligible for a free repair depending on the conditions.



Also, Apple says that they warrant service parts for around 90 days. If you buy the MacBook Air battery on IFIXIT for which I added a link, then you will have a 1 year warranty to back it.



I'm sorry for all the information, but basically, you can replace your battery by yourself. If you really want to play it safe, get your battery replaced through Apple. And finally, Apple offers to recycle your old battery free of charge, in fact you might even get credit towards a new Apple product:


Batteries - Service and Recycling - Apple


I wish you all the best with your MacBook Air.


I hope all this helps. Have a nice day.
