12-12-2008, 02:45 AM #1Online Stores for battery replacement?
I found a place called freshbattery.com that sells MBP batteries for $30 less than Apple. Anyone used these guys and had bad or good experience with them?

- Specs:
- Sawtooth G4 and PB G4 w/FW800
I just got a replacement for my old Powerbook G4. I took a chance and went with the lowest common denominator. My order was via Amazon (actual vendor is BrilliantStore). The battery is "TechFuel" brand.
The fit is a 8.5 out of 10. It was not perfect (I had to push a little to get it in the case properly - but my case has been dropped many times and has a few dings).
It came with a full charge (bonus). I ran it until dead (3-4 hours, compared to the old battery which did about 30 min).
After a full calibration charge, Coconut Battery reported that I was about 5% to 10% over the advertised capacity, with 2 charge cycles on the battery (the original, and the one I put on it). After a few months the battery has shown no issues and works great.

I purchased a genuine Apple battery from Ebay for about half price.
