[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1819461, member: 56379"] In real life situations...not really necessary (even if it could be done...which it isn't like Raz0rEdge mentioned). Pretty much most WiFi network's you're likely to connect to won't exceed the max speed of the 2011 MBP's WiFi hardware. You can mess around with el cheapo batteries via ebay (I've done it);)...and you might get lucky. But many times you're going to end up with something that doesn't fit properly, has a shorter total run time than expected, etc. Best replacement batteries I've found & always recommend are from OWC (macsales.com).:) HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
