    Great Product! A must have.

    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 fully 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

    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 additional 2-2.5 hours of battery life under normal usage. Yeah, you need one. No, it is not great. …More

    Great

    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

    2 Macbooks, 2 dead batteries

    Written by DP from Clarksville

    24-Nov-2009

    I bought this Macbook in August of 2008 and the battery has been fine. It held a charge and worked just fine until last night, I plugged it in to charge overnight and woke up to a steady green light and a dead battery. It seems little premature, especially since I bought my wife a Macbook in February of this year and the same thing happened to hers about a month ago. Luckily, hers was under warranty and the "Geniuses" at the Mac store gave us a new one. As for me, no such luck and I find it a little disheartening to have to buy another battery not even a year and a half after this one was new.

    Apple should be paying attention to this forum, this looks to be a common occurrence. Perhaps MS could take some wind out of the OSX sail with this gem.     …More

    short life

    22-Nov-2009

    The battery only lives for a year, and then is gone. My wife and I own 3 macbooks, 2 of had the same exact problem. The battery all of the sudden is dead. That means $300 on top of what we already paid... we used to love mac products, now we just like them. …More

    I have had mine for almost 3 years now, using it in university all day everyday and at work in the summers. I always have charged mine fully and let it run almost empty (like you're supposed to) and I still can squeeze 5 hours out of my macbook. Usually I can easily get 4 hours running safari and word and powerpoint. I have even updated my drive from 60GB to 500GB and RAM from 0.5GB to 2GB and I still get great battery life. I'll replace it when this trend peters out, but it's still going strong so what the hey? …More
