[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1504753, member: 56379"] Generally speaking when it comes to batteries...you get what you pay for. Does the e-Bay battery actually say "Apple" on it...or does the e-Bay auction just says..."Apple/MacBook" compatible? $40 for a replacement battery that actually says "Apple" on it (if it's a brand new battery)...doesn't make sense if Apple sells the exact same thing for $129. Here's a place that sells replacement batteries for Apple laptop's...that seem to be a quality replacement: [url=http://fastmac.com/laptop.php]FastMac | Product - Laptop Battery Upgrades[/url] Many of the replacement battery's cost around $100...so you don't save a lot vs. an Apple battery. But "Fast Mac" claims that at least some of the battery's they sell have additional capacity. Since you just got a brand new replacement Apple battery...maybe you could get a replacement battery from Fast Mac...and do a comparision test for us!:) HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
