I've had my Macbook for 22 months now. My battery is at 275 cycles and the battery capacity is at 4006 mAh. The original capacity was 4100 mAh. Maybe there are defective batteries out there, but mine has been just fine.

As an owner of an October 2008 Aluminum Macbook, I have to say that I've this battery longer than most people, adding to the credibility. To the review of this date, it's been 1 year and 7 months (or 19 months) since I've had the battery, and here are the stats:

Charge Information:
Full charge capacity (mAh): 3781
Health Information:
Cycle count: 637
Condition: Normal
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): 2063
Voltage (mV): 11290

It was only suppose to work after 300 cycles (which are full charge/discharges). 300 cycles is approximately 3 YEARS for the average user. As a college student & a techie, I use my battery alot and very well. I expected a dropoff of battery life right after 300 cycles, but nope! To this day, I still get approximately 3-4 hours, which I have the display on FULL BRIGHTNESS.

In comparison, my original battery life was 4 hours to 4 hours and 45mins. If we do the math in terms of cycle count and time for the average user, my battery is AFTER 6+ YEARS (300 cycles = 3 years, so 637 cycles = 6+ years) only lost about 45 minutes of battery life.

I can only imagine what the newer batteries of the Macbooks must be like. Apple produced quality products. Slightly pricy, but VERY WELL worth it.

Ya! I love the battery life that Apple created for this computer. I now enjoying more time with my computer without the worry of loosing battery life..... soon. I hope you guys in Apple could make a battery that could last for 7hrs for my 13" MacBook Pro Aluminum 6th Gen 2.4GHz.

For many computer users, Apple pricing over its products really sets them back to purchasing this brand of computer. But I believe, like many of us do, Apple presents reasonable pricing in consideration to the quality of the product they offer. And yes! I'm now a proud and will always be a proud owner (of a MacBook Pro 13" 6th Gen).

I'm the new user of macbook from Thailand. i'm just changed to mac book aluminum 13" just a few weeks ago and i know now it's incredible notebook and battery compare with my old notebook HP tx1000. before i can using my old notebook with battery life just not over 1 hour.

But for new macbook aluminum i can used it for 4-5 hours.

Incredible product.

After getting my aluminum macbook I decided that i would need a secondary battery because often I am away from a plug all day doing work. These batteries are great let me tell you. I average 4 hours per charge with brightness and keyboard backlighting at 25% and with airport connected. With 2 of these batteries I almost never have to plug in my laptop during the day, only once I get home for the night and put my laptop away to use my MacPro

Well it does exactly what it is supposed to do... as if it was a new one!
