Hi everyone. My battery for my Macbook Pro 15 inch is basically shot. It lasts for about 30 minutes. I was trying to look around at other companies who may make the batteries and came across Lenmar. They have a battery that will run me $70 opposed to $129. Has anyone used them? Or does anyone know where to get a brand new Apple battery cheaper? Thank you.

I have heard of some folks having problems with some non-Apple batteries. You can spend $70 on a non-Apple battery...but you may have issues...and then end up buying an Apple battery.

So when all is said & done...you may end up spending $199 ($129 +$70) for a new battery.
