My Macbook Pro is #A1226. Is this the correct replacement battery? Also, since this is an older laptop, will that somehow affect the battery life?

No, you want apple P/N: MA348LL/A. I just got a new one of these yesterday at the Apple store and on the first complete cycle I'm finding a battery life of between 4 and 5 hours. That's running with WiFi and bluetooth on and the display dimmed to 25% (3 ~ 4 dots) and the keyboard illumination off.
The laptop being older shouldn't affect battery life significantly. Perhaps, if the laptop was used in a dusty environment it might need more energy for cooling but I can't imagine that happening in an normal environment unless the laptop was 10+ years old.
I can see a new battery from Apple performing better than the original if they've adapted some of the new cell technology that they are using in the later MBP's to the older battery but that's a detail that you couldn't confirm without directly comparing the older and newer batteries.- Answered by Christopher H from Milford

What battery should i get for "Model No: A1286"?
This is a 15-inch MacBook Pro.
I have a feeling that "Model No: A1278" is the 13-inch version of mine and in that case I need to see an Apple Retailer.- Asked by Eli L from Kensington

Best Answer
Yes, but only for certain things. The battery is expected to wear out eventually under normal use, much in the same way that tires on a car do. So if it's just worn out, they won't replace it for free since it's not defective. (That's what warranties are: a warranty against defects.) But if the battery is defective and is doing something like not charging, or not working at all, or cutting off without warning, they may replace it under warranty. Phone support or the Genius Bar should be able to tell you what your options are.

Best Answer
No. The newer MacBooks and MacBook Pros don't have user-replaceable batteries. You'll need to bring your computer in to an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or better yet the Genius Bar at an Apple Store if you live close to one, to have them replace the battery in your computer.
