Message: <blockquote data-quote="chas_m" data-source="post: 1018359">Um ... your own battery lasted five years, far longer than normal.Does that sound "worse than 3rd party" to you?Try to always bear this in mind: happy customers don't write reviews in forums to tell you how fine everything is going.Apple charges about $119 for most batteries. The reputable third-party batteries (ie companies that actually exist and actually make batteries that are both safe and compatible with your model Mac) charge $85-99 generally. Not a huge difference.If you want to check out a reputable third-party battery vendor, I suggest <a href="http://www.macsales.com" target="_blank">OWC</a> or <a href="http://www.newertech.com/" target="_blank">Newer Technology</a>. Otherwise, go with Apple's own batteries.</blockquote>
