Chosen Solution
I ordered a battery for my MacBook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013 2.3GHz , 11,3, A1398 (EMC 2745). I ordered the battery that corresponds with this MacBook, (late 2013-mid 2014) I Just received the battery and it says on the battery “Compatible with model number: A1494”, no mention of my actual model number, is this battery replacement fine or do I need a new one? I went through the intuitive iFixit model finder and it gave me this battery when I input all of my information. Any help would be appreciated!!
If we look at the needed battery from iFixit we can see the details MacBook Pro 15" Retina (Late 2013-Mid 2014) Battery Model #: A1494 Watt Hours: 95 Wh Voltage: 11.26 V Milliamp Hours: 8440 mAh Manufacturer: Aftermarket So you did receive the correct battery as this is listed as a A1494 Keep in mind the computer model is not the same as the battery model. So follow the guide here MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Late 2013 Battery Replacement and you should be fine! Make sure you use the solvent sparingly! A little goes a long way and take your time! Slowly lifting the battery and putting in a bit more in-between the battery and the case.
