Reviews for Rechargeable Battery - 15-inch MacBook Pro

Absolutely horrible battery, love the computer, the battery is so bad it may force me back to PC

The battery has only gone through 91 cycles, and it has failed. The average life should be @ 300 cycles. Almost a year and half old, and Apple will not address due to the one year warranty. This product is quite pricey to only last for this long. Very dissatisfied.

I bought my Mac the end of May 2008, several months ago it started shutting down without warning and had to be rebooted. I tried reseting the battery capacity and it looked like things were better but then it happened again. I then found the reported capacity and number of cycles the battery has been through in the About this Mac, more info area. The battery had 42 cycles and the capacity was about 2100 ma/hr. When it is new it is over 5000 ma./hrs. Warning check your battery before the 1 year warranty is up. I was told I didn't report this soon enough for Apple to help me.

I agree with you guy's, I bought my MacBook Pro July 2008 and its already dead, still can't believe it !

The battery lasted 5 years on my old Powerbook G4 and its still good for about an hour, I don't know what they have done with their new battery are really bad.

I have had my MacBook Pro for 11 months. At first I was so happy with this battery that was supposed to last 3 times a regular one and it did at first (lasted for 4 hours). When I unplugged my Mac I wouldn't plug it again unless the battery was fully discharged to assure battery's life.

Now after 11 months of using it and having really taken care of it doesn't last more than half and hour. I'm pretty upset because my warranty expired last month. Now I have to spend 130 dollars to buy a new one.

These batteries are horrible. The battery in my macbook pro lasts about 30min before it is out of charge. Yet the battery on my 2003 powerbook lasts almost two hours. I really do not want to buy a new battery, but I guess I will have to.

I couldn't agree more with the other users who have found this battery to be the worst! I, too, am on my third battery in as many years. I made sure to take special care with the second one, but it died even faster than the first. Come on, Apple. Surely you can improve on these . . . ?

Admittedly, I use my 2007 MacBookPro3,1 everyday for at least 5 hours. So battery consumption is heavy. Yet, I didn't expect to have to buy a $129 battery every year, since I'm contemplating buying my third battery in as many years as I've had the MBP 15".

I love Apple products and I'm loathed to trash such as fine company, but the battery for my MBP 15" is good for about 280 full-charge cycles. After that, if you want the benefits of having a laptop, buying a new battery is a necessity.

I have 2 macbook pro laptop computers. They both had their battery replaced within a year. The second battery of one is still working fine now after a year, but the second one failed at less than 90 days. Batteries are not cheap. Apple quality is definitely NOT seen in this case. Apple, fix the product!

I bought my macbook pro 15 inch about one year ago and have been cycling it per directions provided. Lo and behold, the battery needs to be replaced ALREADY. 130 dollars down the drain, 20 dollars says it will fail in 6 months with the amount of processing power I use. Use your money elsewhere.
