[QUOTE="AlexsMacBookPro, post: 1365444, member: 149655"] Hello Everyone, My Mid 2009 13.3" MacBook Pro 2.26Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo recently gave me the "Service Battery" warning. I am not surprised considering that it has 695 charge cycles on it and was getting 2 hours of battery instead of 8. So I was thinking I would just replace it myself since my MacBook Pro is no longer covered under warranty. My question is do I buy a battery for a Mid 2009 13.3" or can I buy a 2011 13.3" one? Would buying a 2011 battery give me better battery life vs buying a 2009? If memory serves, when I bought my MacBook Pro it had a 8 hour battery with a 300 cycle rating on it. The new ones have a 7 hour 1000 cycle rating on a i7. Since I don't have a i7 processor would I get more than 7 hours? Thanks, Alex [/QUOTE]
