Rechargeable Battery - 13-inch MacBook (White)
equally unhappy
Written by AE from London
01-Jun-2007
my macbook is just over a year old. i calibrated it regularly as this is my first laptop and i am very precious about it. it has now decided there is no battery in there and has gone completely dead. not reduced capacity, but refuses to see that there is one present. £100 pounds for a new battery to replace one i didn't break is completely unfair and unreasonable. it is a hardware fault not bad maintenance that caused it.
i'm a student and will not be able to replace this for some time. very unimpressed. …More540 of 698 people found this useful

Battery failed 18 months old - not up to Apple standards

I don't think I should be replacing this battery at only 18 months old for £99 - this isn't good quality/value but the Apple helpline says it is within their acceptable standards. Disappointed. I'm usually a great Apple fan. …More

Like others, the battery in my wife's MacBook went, system profiler said that it was unrecognized. Spoke to the nice people at Apple and although the MacBook was out of warranty by over a year they sent a replacement battery for free. Nice service from Apple! …More

Not up to standard
Written by RT from Farnham
31-Oct-2009
My original battery died after 156 cycles and only 16 months old. I always fully discharged it before recharging and expected it to last much longer. It just stopped working one day - saying "Not Charging" in the menu bar - which is a failure and not a worn out battery. Having been advised that batteries were consumable and that it was out of warranty I was advised to buy a new one. For £97 I expect much more from this product. The replacement didn't even fit as well as the original. …More

Replacement Battery...... again!
Written by JT from EDINBURGH

This will be my 3rd battery within 18 months? Not happy at £97 replacement. The current battery has only been charged 97 so well within the useage. If my Mac is left for more than a few days (ie a holiday) without being used. The battery just drains and the little x appears?
Diappointed to say the least! …More3 of 5 people found this useful

will the new macbook 7 hour battery work in a three year old macbook?
- Asked by LG from white plains
- 21-Oct-2009
Best Answer
Two problems:
1) The battery in the new MacBook is not supposed to be removable.
2) It will not fit in the original MacBook.
The "7hr battery" is pretty close in capacity to this battery, it's just that the new MacBook is a lot more energy efficient and that's why you can get up to 7 hours out of it. Even if you could take the battery out of the new MacBook and put it in your old one, you still would not be able to get 7hr of battery life out of it. My guess would be 4 maybe. …More- Answered by AA from RIO LINDA
