Macbook Battery Question

[cocaine]

I have a unibody macbook 13". I bought it around the end of 2008.I just found out that the battery of current macbooks of same kind lasts for 7 hours. i was wondering if this battery works on my laptop. Any information will be highly appriciated.

i have no idea. but just curious to know if your battery is removable?
if so then i would be positive it isn't compatible. if it isn't i have no idea but it would be good to know..

No, its not swappable. New/different design.

What you can't see in those pictures: different dimensions and thickness.

I can certainly understand that macbook pro battery wont work on macbook regular but how about the battery of new macbook regulars?

The new Macbook battery is built in, different in build and design, so it's a no go!
