Rechargeable Battery - 13-inch MacBook (White)

• Great Product! A must have.

  5.0 out of 5 stars

  this is a great product if you use it properly. Because it is a lithium polymer battery it needs to be charged fully then drain fu lly and charged fully etc... to keep it healthy. I get about 4 - 4.5 hours out of this if I i drain it and then charge it (like above). when i first used it like normal i only got about two hours until i realized that you had to do this. This is a great product and if you use it in this way you can even achieve as much as five hours! This is a great product and i would highly recommend it.
  
  note: if you use this technique from the start, the battery heath can increase from what it was when you first get it. … More (Read full review)

  I love seeing 5-star reviews for this thing. Here is the truth: the MacBook battery is big, heavy, and will only get you an additi onal 2-2.5 hours of battery life under normal usage. Yeah, you need one. No, it is not great. … More (Read full review)

  I got this battery because I was going to be going on a 10 hour plane ride. It was very, very nice to be able to keep my computer for almost the whole trip. I have read a lot of people saying that it last for 3 or 4 hours, but here is a tip, turn down the brightness level on the screen to as low as it can go (I can get by on a notch of 1 when there is a light on in the room). When on the lowest level, the battery lasts for around 5 hours, sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more. I would recommend this for someone who uses their MacBook for long periods of time. … More (Read full review)

• Works great......big price tag

  4.0 out of 5 stars

  I bought my Macbook in March 2008 and after five glorious problem free years with my trusty notebook, I am just now having to repl ace the battery. I was surprised to read reviews saying the battery failed after just 18 months. I work on the road as a traveling consultant. My early 2008 Macbook gets vigorous daily use and has been bumped, banged, dropped and literally slid across a floor for 27 feet once but it's still completely functional and the battery had never failed until just this month in June 2013.
  Nothing electronic lasts forever, but for a notebook battery to last 5 years is great in my opinion. I'm not happy about the $129 replacement cost but hey, it's Apple and we're all aware that they're not known for being inexpensive. … More (Read full review)

  This battery hasn't lasted long at all, my first one lasted about 4 years, and this one has lasted 5 months!

  Battery is 66 months old, on it's 1050 cycle count and still lasts 2 and a half hours after charging. Others may not be happy but I'm well impressed. … More (Read full review)
