How to recognise an original replaced battery

Hi guys,
I have a late 2009 MacBook Pro, 15", model 5.3, who's original battery died and has just been replaced by an Apple consultant (a third party, or private Apple authorised repair guy).
Right now, the fully charged battery shows anywhere between 3 and 6 hrs of juice left, depending on the type of operation performed.
Yet, I couldn't help noticing that in Power panel of System Information, the battery manufacturer says SMP, so I wonder if this is really an original Apple part or not.
Do you know how to recognise an original battery after replacement?

SMP is the manufacturer of Apple batteries. So you purchased the 'real thing.'

How long to recive your replacement battery

I was wondering how long it is taking everyone to recieve their replacement batteries in the recall. I got the confirmation email that said up to 4-6 weeks, but I was curious if it was really taking most people this long?
Has anyone already received their battery replacement?
(Not apple bashing here. Yeah, it ***** my battery is defective, but I completely understand it is not Apple's fault.)
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

On August 24 I requested one 15" PB G4 battery replacement and two 12" PB
battery replacements. Received two e-mail confirmations from Apple.
Within about three weeks I did receive the 15" PB replacement battery.
The two 12" PB replacements have never showed.
It would be nice if Apple could put up an announcement giving some indication when these batteries will ship.
BTW, I've continued using the bad batteries because I don't have another option. So far their behavior is 100% normal.

How do I know which replacement battery to buy?

Although my battery has only 120 charge cycles, it only works for a few minutes before the computer suddenly shuts down. Apple won't give me a new battery, so I need to buy a new one. The person at customer service couldn't even tell me which exact battery to order for my computer though... sigh.
I have a 15" MacBook Pro, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.5 GHz, Model Number A1260.
Is this the correct battery for my machine? Thanks!

A few places...
1.) The URL supplied by the above poster (thank you)
2.) http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html (under the part where it says battery lifespan)
3.) My various training via Apple certifications and during my employment with Apple
Now, none of those public facing links explicitly use the word "defective." This is where it gets into translation and understanding:
+Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. You can extend your replacement coverage for a defective battery to three years from the date of your notebook purchase with the AppleCare Protection Plan. However, the AppleCare Protection Plan for notebook computers _does not cover batteries that have failed or are exhibiting diminished capacity_ except when the failure or diminished capacity is the result of a manufacturing defect.+
How does an AppleCare phone agent evaluate a battery in consideration for defective versus depleted? Prior to the tool, there was no easy way to do that. Sure, a 2+ year old machine with 6 cycles is obvious but I've had batteries replaced that were 30+ months old with less than 20 cycles replaced without batting an eye.
Even via clarification (prior to working for Apple), until recently where Apply deployed battery diagnostics the cut off was always 300 until the new, non-removable batteries were introduced.
Apple's policy, reiterated by numerous sources (see above) was that a battery with less than 300 cycles that did not have 80% of it's original capacity could be considered defective and eligible for replacement. Are there exceptions to that rule, sure... there are to any with Apple. Now with the tool that's deployed at stores and service providers they have the ability to determine if the battery is actually considered to be depleted (not defective) but that's relatively new feature.
I've had ~40 some odd batteries replaced by Apple in the past 7 years that had less than 300 cycles, less than 80% charge capacity and under AppleCare. In every instance the replacement process was hassle free, immediate and unquestioned. It wasn't until about ~10 months ago where the diagnostic came into the equation.

How do I identify a replacement battery for my Macbook 13"

I am looking on how to identify what replacement batteries might be available for my MacBook. Can someone help. Current battery is 3779 mAh, 12330 volts ( mV) DC. I am lokoing to increase capacity but want to find something that fits.
Thanks
Jim

The model 6,1 Late 2009 and the model 7,1 Mid 2010 A1342 use an A1331 battery. You can replace it yourself or have Apple do it for you for $129. If you need it quickly make sure you order it from a U. S. seller. Orders from China can take two or three weeks.

Here's installation instructions. You'll need a Tri Wing Y1 screwdriver in addition to the usual #00 Phillips screwdriver.

How long should a new replacement battery last on a Macbook 13 inch 2008?

It's in the the title I guess. I have a 13 inch Black MacBook from 2008. My Battery was still giving me nearly two hours and the cycles was well into the 900s. I'm OCD about taking care of it. So what should I expect out of this new battery? The same performance? When I first got this Macbook it could nearly get me through a whole 7 hour school day on one charge. I don't need that anymore but I would appreciate some where close for the money I paid for the new battery.

The new battery should behave very much like an original battery...that said, every battery behaves a little differently so be flexible in what you see. If it lasts much less time, then have it tested. But overall, should be reasonably close to the same behavior.

10e010nr pavilion replacement battery

Ive searched the internet, looked on the HP site, called customer service, and been referred to tech support (which was closed). Frankly, not a great experience so far considering every laptop I have had in the past I could find a replacement battery in seconds. I know its my fault as I bought the laptop for a price I couldnt refuse, new from HHGreg, but someone had swiped the battery - hence the very low price.
How do I get a replacement battery for this laptop??
Thanks in advance,
Kieth

I appreciate it.
I cannot believe they are selling this laptop and so poorly supporting it.
I would still like to hear from HP On this. They haven't responded to any of my emails. I find it hard to believe that some stuff laptops been out several months I'm the only one with this problem.
Kieth

I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon. How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge?

I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon. How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge? Will the new one become less effective if it sits around too long?

How much capacity is remaining on your current battery?
Check your power status
From the  menu: Hold OPTION and click System Information... èHardware è Power
Copy and Paste in your reply.
The new battery will become less effective if you store it in a hot or humid environment. It should be stored at room temperature (22 C).
Long term storage (6 months):
Apple recommends that you store the battery with a 50% charge. If you store a battery when it’s fully discharged, it could fall into a deep discharge state, which renders it incapable of holding any charge. Conversely, if you store it fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may experience some loss of battery capacity, meaning it will have a shorter life.

Trying to find replacement battery thats performs like the original

I have a aluminum unibody 15" MacBook Pro, it's about year and a half old. The battery isn't performing like it used too, and I'm looking to replace it. The only problem is that every review I read says the the replacement battery is horrible compared to the original, even from the apple website and OEM. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement battery that will perform the the original battery came with it?

I think that your best option is to get one from Apple even though it will be the most expensive. I have seen no statements in regards to the quality of them, but I have no reason to believe any one might have better ones.
I have seen that through Amazon one can order OEM batteries for Apple MBPs and at more favorable prices. They look 'real' and I suspect that they are gray market items. Nevertheless Caveat Emptor.
iFixit.com also sells MBP batteries, but I don't know if they have any in stock.
I certainly would avoid anything offered on e-bay in the bargain category.
If you do choose to go third party, note that you will need a #0 Triwing driver for the battery swap.
Ciao.

See Here for
Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
Try this first... You will not lose any Data...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

If that does not work... try letting the battery fully drain.
Then Charge for an Hour and try the suggestions again.

Why apple do not sell replacement battery for iphone? Not original battery is dangerous

Recently many problem about iphone specially about battery problem or charger.
I can not buy original battery but i only can buy from another seller not authorized seller from apple and it could be dangerous for me
Because i'm not sure the battery is original or not.
I think This is not good services from apple to customer.
I think apple should provide the replacement battery for avoid an accident like what i have been heard and read in the news.

the battery in the iphone is not user replaceable - you can send the iphone to Apple or (I believe) take it to an Apple store or authorized repair place and they will install a new battery - i forget what they charge - i think in the US its $79 but im not sure
if you try to install a battery yourself or get oen installed from a non authorized place your warranty will be voided

HT1430 my IPad 2 has gone off, I have tried all the usual things, it is 3 years old, is it possible the battery has worn out, and if so how expensive are they to replace

My apple 2 appears to have died ,is ir possible the battery is dead, and how expensive are they to replace?

I'm adding more information:
in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible. When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip. ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them.
