[QUOTE="Mr. D, post: 1619892, member: 192476"] I appreciate your response. It seems there is "not" a lot of support for buying any batteries other than those through Apple. I assume Apple does not produce its on batteries. Not having been born wealthy, what I was hoping for is some feedback on a battery for less than Apple's $139. such as the battery made by Nupower at $89. sold by OWC. The only response I have gotten is that I should not expect a $20. battery to be as good as Apple's $139. battery. Surprisingly, I was able to come to that conclusion by myself. My question is whether an $89. battery like the Nupower is likely in the same level as Apple's $139. battery. I love Apple products, but they are not known for giving their customers any financial breaks at the cash register, so like many I don't need to pay another $50. for a battery if it is essentially the same as the Apple battery. Many Apple accessories or replacement items are grossly over priced. ........ so again I repeat the question for those on the forum, "Does anyone have an opinion/facts on a lesser priced battery for my MacBook 5,2 such as the Nupower battery for $89. from OWC?"
