Reviews for Rechargeable Battery - 13-inch MacBook (Black)

Bought my Black 13" MacBook in August 2008. I love it. Three years almost, now, and it's still going strong. But I'm having the same problem many others are having: the battery is expanding and forcing its way out the bottom of my Mac. It seems to still be holding a charge fine, but for the sake of safety, and to prevent further damage, I'm going to put out for a new battery. Sigh. My wife, a Windows fan, is teasing me, "I thought Macs were perfect..." Alas, no.

I just returned from a 3 week vacation and my battery died.... Apparently this is a common occurrence. Had since 2006 and 394 cycles, so not too shabby just dissappointing

Though I don't think there's any suspicious reason for this happening but I too just got back from a 5 week trip to find my battery display saying "not charging" and that i need to replace it. I had also left it fully charged, shut down and untethered (if that's the term everyone is using for "unplugged") There must be a technical explanation for this. My book is; however unhealthy for the battery, almost always on and plugged in and on. It is as with most I've seen this predicament occur with about 3 yrs old.

I Purchase 13-inch MacBook (Black) 1 Years Ago, Now The Battery Dropped Down From The Bottom Of The MacBook.
It's Look Like A Low Quality MacBook !

I have been using Macbook black since February, 2007. Never gave me simple headaches. Last two months were really hectic- screen frequently gone to black. Couldn't figure out the reason. Now i can guess that it was battery.

I have been using A/C power, most of the times. kept it on for days. kept the sleep options never for my mac. Didn't calibrate the battery for years as it is prescribed to keep the battery full functional. My display started going black very frequently. When i tried to solve this issue, i found the battery facts. It actually linked with CMU.

I tried the calibration first time yesterday. Before, it happened but not done by me. I think it might keep the battery function properly.

I have read few reviews about the battery problems. I think if you read the instructions for calibrating your battery, you would know the frequent mistakes. Try to read the last three instructions properly. You should shut down when the battery indicates zero, or you can put it in sleep. The macbook battey contains a chip which contains necessary information, it is programmed to sleep in reserve, if it is drained totally, the information that chip were carrying might lost totally. And that is how the battery is dying before the time. This is what i have thought. I am not an expert in this.

One more fact, i wanna add about purchasing the battery. each products have specific shelf life. Before purchasing any product, check the manufacturing date, rather than other dates- that is what we frequently skip.

I have had my computer for about 3 years now. Its a black macbook and I got it about 3 months after it was released. Its the original that came with it and it still lasts about 2 to 3 hours of regualar use, thats browsing the internet, watching youtube, and listening to music. I usually run my computer without the power cord until I really need it. Then I charge it. its worked pretty well. But today, it decided to just stop working, I can still use it but not without the power cord. I guess I just have to buy a new one. Im still happy that it lasted 3 years.
