   I bought this battery to replace the original battery for macbook, which had just died. I bought this off Amazon because it was about fifty dollars cheaper than if I were to buy it direct from Apple. The item was shipped very quickly, but I am ultimately disappointed in it. The battery works well, but it does not quite fit properly, almost as if the plastic outer-covering was not cut correctly. Also, that outer-shell separates very easily from the battery, as if it were only attached by very low-quality glue. I have only had the battery for a couple of days, and I have not experienced any problems with the charging aspect of it, but i feel that this was very shoddily made. Next time, I will buy the battery directly from Apple.

   While travelling, I can use my macbook for 6 hrs working on word prosessing and can watch about 3hrs of DVD playback with earphones. Ofcourse I have to optimise settings like turning off wireless and bluetooth (which aren’t used while in flight), dimming the LCD, closing unnecessary apps etc. Macbook together with this battery is a good piece of engineering from Apple. Only four stars because the battery forms a part of external plastic and isn’t something that slides into a casing. Disadvantage is a slight imperfection in fit.

   This battery fits and works with my 13″ white MacBook (not a MacBook Pro). Like other reviewers, the battery works great. Only complaint is that it doesn’t fit quite as perfectly as the original batteries. Not quite as flush and color slightly off.

   The battery seems to run out of a juice a bit faster then my mac battery that suddenly stopped working a few months ago.

   It doesn’t quite fit in my computer. My macbook doesn’t register the charge well, so it randomly shuts off when I should have an hour of charge left. It charges slowly and doesn’t have that great of a life for a new battery. Next time I’m going to spring for the real thing.

   Battery works. However it is of a visually different material and does not fit as well as the original. It is also slightly thicker than the real thing, which caused my mouse button (under the trackpad) to become markedly “stiffer”. I believe this is because of a thick grey (+- 1mm) sticker that covers the battery, which the original does not have. After dremeling [...] off the sticker in the trackpad area it now works. I would not but it again, but rather pay the additional 50 $ for the original battery
