Mabook Replacement battery

My black Macbook battery is toast. I think it's an a1185 if I remember correctly. Seems like generic ones get horrible reviews, but then so do the Apple ones. Anyone have good luck with a particular brand? Thanks!!

I've found that hard wiring it to a car battery works best. Kind of inconvenient, but you can watch porn for 10-12 days straight with this method (indefinitely if you're driving around fapping).

I bought an Apple one for my old macbook pro, sucked just as bad as the dead battery. It was a waste of money.

I am looking also a battery in my Apple mac Pro. I was wondering how can I remove the battery?

Not sure how old the battery in question is, but one of my colleagues recently mentioned that you can have the guys at the apple store check the number of cycles the battery has been through, and if it's below a certain charge threshold after too few cycles, they'll give you a new one. Generally this would be the case in a laptop that's plugged in most of the time.

ive got one from dealextreme.com Works like a charm, basically the same as the apple one, at a fraction of the price. The only thing that could be annoying is that it doesnt color like the my macbook.

Cool, thanks for the tip. I ended up ordering a new generic one off ebay from a place that offers a three year warranty. Will see what happens.. Mine is too old to take back to Apple and get any sort of battery love I'm sure.

The battery I bought on ebay is doing the job well at the moment, though the color of the battery is much more of a glossy black than the Apple matte black battery for the black Macbook. I don't really care, though, so long as it functions well and was still only $40. Here's the seller I bought from: http://stores.ebay.com/provenchoicebatteriesadapters
