Reviews for Rechargeable Battery - 15-inch MacBook Pro

I never did the calibration and now my battery pretty much won't work. Only 9 months old. So I'm buying a new one but I am not thrilled.

i've got this on my laptop and like i've had it for just over a year, but now it just dies out instantly, i charge it and at 50% i get that notification which says to plug my charger in.... like i love my MBP but the battery i just LOATH!, please apple fix this up!! NOW!

A battery is obviously necessary for a laptop, but the performance on all three batteries I've had with my MacBook Pro has been less than desirable. That I've gone through three already seems extraordinary to me compared past Powerbooks and iBooks I've used. The battery health seems to drop-off quickly after a few months.

Spent hours trying to figure out what I had done wrong-----turns out this is common. I am shocked that Apple can't provide a battery that lasts more than a year. Of course I will go buy another, what other choice do I have? This has made a black smudge in Apple's permanent record book if you ask me.

I bought my macbook 2 yrs ago and i have already had to replace my battery. the cover plate on the battery warped, it wouldn't sit flat o the table and my battery life got so bad that my computer would turn off after i unplugged it from my ac adaptor. i inquired about this with my local apple store but i was told that there was nothing they could do. i wouldn't be nearly as upset if these were cheap batteries but for what they charge for these things i expect quality. i have a 17 in macbook and i an having the same problem something must be done about this.

Well my MBP is first gen version, i have had it for about 17months and have found that my battery only last 1%for every 30-60secs that go bye, that is horrible life. Apple needs to fix this problems and issue a recall on all batteries. being that i am student in a media based program So ALL my work is on this machine and is needed every day!!!
DESIGN LONG LIFE BATTERIES NOT LAP WARMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has been probably close to 15 months, and now my battery doesn't hold much charge at all. I go to my college classes, and have to have the screen dimmed to 1 bar before backlight off... The battery "updates" show that I have 2.5 hours remaining, but the timer seems to go down 3x faster than it should. I calibrate it all the time through the natural use...

okay. i bought my macbook pro for college.
obviously, while i'm in class, it looks rather obnoxious to be plugged into the wall.
so i've been extremely disappointed that the battery life seems to be steadily decreasing.
after reading the review about istat pro causing problems, i removed it, and it has helped, but still, when i got the computer, it had five hour battery life, and i would dare to say it went over that. now the meter says 4 hours every time i unplug, and this soon dwindles down to three, even when the screen is dim it still doesn't have much effect.
i am proud to own an apple, especially when people ask me longingly "so is that the new macbook pro" or something like that, but as far as i am concerned, this computers battery life to this point was certainly not worth shelling out $2k.

apple. please fix this issue, it's pretty sad when the powerbook g3 i gave my little brother to toy with is exceeding the performance of your latest and greatest.

When I first got the battery, it gave almost 5 hours of battery life. However, slightly over a year into it, I'm down to less than 1 hour. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any other options for batteries, so I'll be buying another one in a couple days.

After 1 1/2 years, the battery start acting funny. It would say it still has 90% charge but it'll shut down and I can't turn it back on with battery power.

I thought it was a long shot to bring it back to apple for repair since battery have only 1 year warranty, but I was informed that for the batch of MBP I've got, apple extended the warranty to 2 years. So now it's in repair, and hopefully apple would give me a new battery for free.
