Reviews for Rechargeable Battery - 15-inch MacBook Pro

I love my MacBook Pro, and wouldn't give it up for a second. However, I just purchased a second battery that was dead (wouldn't accept charge) within a week of having purchased it. The included battery, despite having been carefully cycled, puttered out shortly thereafter. I'm now on my third battery in less than a year.

My Mar 2006 MBP now shuts down (not sleep, not - actual power-down, with no warning and loss of unsaved work) suddenly when at around 30% battery power.

Unacceptable, and Apple better start offering replacement batteries, because this batch is clearly bad.

The battery that came with my Macbook pro lasted 5 years and I just had to replace it. The battery I bought just over a year ago is already dead again. You should't have to replace every year.

My battery life for my macbook pro used to last around 3-5 hours depending on what I was doing. Just a couple weeks ago, when fully charged, it only lasts an hour and rapidly dies. I've only had this battery for 1.5 years and feel this is ridiculous to die so soon.

This battery was purchased November 2009 and I've followed the book on cycling and it hasn't helped. The battery only lasts one hour. Let me repeat, one hour of power before needing to plug it in. This is the third battery for this laptop and none of them have lasted. This is the only item made by Apple that I've had problems with.

These batteries last well & work as advertised. Just remember it's a laptop battery, so it needs to be fully charged & fully drained on a semi-regular basis ('cycled') to provide good long term results. Otherwise you'll quickly destroy their ability to hold a charge. I use the iStatNano dashboard widget to monitor them; helps a lot.

never gives me more than two hours on a full charge. This one is only about 4 months old. Very hot. indicator lights are very nice touch. not so great. wasn't this supposed to last for 5 hrs?

I have already gone through 3 batteries in the last 2 years. I do the cycles properly and to no avail, I honestly think they should do a much better job at making them last longer. I understand its like a cars tire but folks you do the tires rotation and they sure last you a long time. (Sorry Apple) But your batteries are just a piece of junk.

To say that this battery is garbage is an understatement. You don't have to pay through the nose for trash, just dive into a dumpster. I bought a replacement battery 5 months ago and within that time my battery has gone to a life of 3 minutes unplugged. And yes I've cycled it at least once a month in the 5 month span. I'm going to go toss quarters into the sewer to make myself feel better.

Battery that came with computer was great, second apple battery lasted 58 cycles and is now dead. ugh
