Reviews for Rechargeable Battery - 13-inch MacBook (White)

If the battery is used as it should be, it works perfectly. It is when it is not used appropriately that the life of the battery is diminished. I have had my original battery for 3 years, it was not until this time that the battery needed to be changed. The average life of the battery is 300 cycle count. Currently mine is at 900 and it is only just starting to be decreased, that is, the battery only lasts for 2-2.5 hrs.

I have had this battery for two years and have used it almost every singles day of those years. It is cutrrently at 482 Cycle Counts, and it is going perfectly. I recently bought a new battery for the last two years of college, but I believe continue to be running perfectly till then plus some.

I first got annoyed when presses on the right side of my laptop's case would register as mouse clicks. Did a little research and found that this has to do with the battery bulging. This has also explained why the battery isn't flush with the case anymore.

Its been 3.5 years now since I got this Mac. And the battery worked well until recently when it started sweling. It still works well but I can't find a reason for its newly acquired shape.

I think Apple should find out the cause and correct it to at least avoid such problems in future.

Well lets see I had a macbook for 2 years and I've purchased 2 additional batteries because they both went bad after only around 150 charges. I've spent around 250 bucks on batteries and they still don't work properly. Thanks Apple

I got this battery with my laptop back in Mid 2007 and it is now expanding out of it's case I realize it's out of warranty and that I don't have apple care but apple should be responsible and fix the problem not burry it! I'm not happy right now Apple!

My first battery lasted about a year before it wouldn't hold a charge, but I've had my current one for three years and I'm on 1040 charge cycles and 84%. That sound insane, but just two weeks ago I was still on 98%. I guess I'm finally headed towards a new battery again, but this one has served me amazingly well.

I have my original MacBook battery and it has gone through 581 cycles and is still at 99% health. I have noticed maybe only slight drops in battery life over the 3 years I have owned it. I don't know what the heck these people do to their batteries that only get a few hours after only owning it for a few years. My battery can last 5 hours if I turn of airport and turn the brightness down and only do small tasks (like not watching movies or games). It goes to show that with proper maintenance this battery will last a very long time. Just don't be an idiot, use it until it's dying, then plug it in, let it charge up and don't leave it plugged in all the time fully charged. Not that hard...

time to get a new one. Im surprised it has lasted this much, honestly, compare it to ANY other laptop battery life in the market and you really do get what you pay for. 3 years and the machine still works great too, that makes me and my wallet happy :)

I bought my mac 2 years ago and in that time ive had to send it away to be ficed 4 times. The first two instances a faulty battery (only 6 months after purchasing the mac) and a faulty CD drive were covered by warrenty, the third instance where my hard drive blew and i lost everything saved on my mac was covered by my apple care plan. Last week my battery went again and ive been told that not only is it out of warrenty but batteries are also not covered in the apple care plan. My sister purchased her mac the same day as me and had had similar problems. I am a very unhappy contumer and would not recommend mac products. Macbooks are prices a lot higher than other laptops but do not offer a better preformance in return.
