Please read about Battery service in Mac Repair - Official Apple Support.


Mac batteries are considered not user-replaceable for a lot of reasons, safety being among the most important. Batteries contain a lot of potentially hazardous energy, and can be dangerous if handled, stored, or installed in an improper manner. If your MacBook Air remains supported by Apple, then by all means have them do it.
