Where to buy Macbook 13 battery?

I see batteries listed from $21 to $89 on eBay and vendors such as OWC.
Any recommendations?

I've bought used MacBooks off of eBay for my family, seven of them so far over the last 5 years. I've bought 8 batteries off of eBay sellers, just going with the cheapest. Only had one with a problem, it gave out after 6 cycles. That one was replaced under the warranty by the seller. The only other batteries that have been a problem were Apple branded batteries that started bulging. I've had two of those happen.
Apple doesn’t make any batteries. They buy them from the same manufacturers that the third party sellers are buying from. The only difference is that Apple has their logo imprinted on the battery.
You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

Where to buy a replacement battery?

I have a 17" MacBook Pro with the dreaded exploding battery. Apple is unwilling to replace the D E F E C T I V E part.
Where can I get a GOOD replacement battery, preferable not from Apple?
After 7 home apple computers (about one every two years - that is not quality), base stations, ipods - I think I'm done with their products. In the last few years I had two logic boards go, broken hinges, I've just accepted the fact and went and got a new one.
These defective batteries are a real problem.

Hi JCHall,
Can you tell us more about the battery? How old is the computer? Is it the original battery? Does the unit have Applecare on it or did it recently expire?
From my experience, Apple is usually pretty flexible when it comes to batteries. Typically they'll decline a replacement if the unit is outside of the one-year limited hardware warranty (no Applecare) or outside the 3-year Applecare coverage window. That seems pretty reasonable...
Another scenario is if the battery is considered depleted/consumed. I've had three batteries that as a result of high cycle charges began to expand because they were depleted, not defective.

Where to buy a new battery

Hello,
Im in need of a new batter for my Macbook pro. I have a service battery icon on my battery time. Would you get a new battery from apple or is there another place that I can get it cheaper?
Just curious where the best place would be to get a new battery? Thanks

There is no best place to get a battery. They're all going to sell you the same thing for the same price.

Where to buy genuine x201 battery?

Hi, can anybody recommend where I could buy a genuine x201 battery (besides Lenovo)?
Its becoming a problem trying to suss out the genuine from the replacement models.

I don't see how a 3rd party website can sell genuine batteries if they are not from Lenovo shop directly. Unless its those OEM type batteries which you are looking for or refurbished.

I have a Y2P (i5) ... Feel free to ping me if you want me to test some applications with your Y2P if you have the same model. I don't mind keep doing recovery on it if needed .... =)

I understand that a new battery can be very expensive but can I ask if you have tried re-calibrating your battery to make sure that it is truly needing replacement?
You can do this by running your battery down so low that the iPhone switches off by itself. Then, preferably with the iPhone off, charge the battery up to full. Doing this might improve the performance of your current battery.
Also, are you aware that iPhone (and many other smart device batteries) do not last particularly long anyway, when you are using your iPhone a lot (especially when the display is on).

Where to buy a replacement battery for iPod 5?

Unfortunately, I wanted to play music in my car when we went on a road trip, it was fully charged but I wanted the music to keep on playing. It was on for almost 15 hours. It was a stupid mistake, and now every time I charge it fully, an hour later, the battery life is already cut down in half. It is frustrating to keep on constantly charging it, and it makes it harder to use if I have something important to do but it keeps on losing battery life. I put it on the lowest brightness, turned off all apps, and did many other things to try and prevent it from losing too much battery life, but I think it's already "exhausted" enough. I still have about 160 something days left on my warranty, and I read on here, that I am able to have a free replacement if the warranty is still active. Do I have to get it at an Apple store? Or can I order it online somehow?

Skydiver...
Totally outside my bailiwick since I have no iPhone, but is it not true that one could purchase that fine device from a cell service provider like AT&T or T-Mobile? In every case I can think of, no matter what product it may be, warranty service starts at the original PoP?
Not knowing how or where it was purchased, I said what I said. Genius Bar my well be the route.
best regards

Where to buy MBA Rech Battery

My MBA battery is not charging anymore, can only use with AC Power. Battery Health info says Cycle count:461, Condition: Check Battery. I assumed the battery needs to be replaced.
I cant find MBA rechargeable battery at Apple Store Online. Does it mean I need to purchase it from AASP and they will be the one to replace it? I've seen on video the procedure and its a do-it-yourself thing.
Advise please. Thanks!

Apple does not sell replacement batteries since the battery in the MacBook Air is not considered to be user-replaceable. You can find information about arranging to have the battery replaced here:

Take the computer to the Apple store to have the battery checked and replaced if necessary.

Before that, do a SMC reset and test.

Where can I buy a new battery for my macbook

Where can I buy a new battery for my macbook

Depending on the build year model configuration
(reference serial number lookup online) you may
have a MacBook w/ built-in battery, or maybe not.
If yours does not have a user-accessible battery
you may want to look into iFixit.com guides to see
what they suggest for your specific MacBook.
And then consider if you are up to the DIY steps
with ability to do the complete service yourself,
or if not, then contact a qualified certified service
center to inquire their estimate for part + labor.
However if your computer does have an easily
replaced battery with external access where
you are essentially looking at the battery, that
is just a matter of identifying the correct Mac
to get a matching part from reputable reseller.
You could probably get a replacement battery
from Apple, if the computer isn't really old...
Or you could look online at places such as
OWC where they offer a few batteries. Just
be sure to avoid the low-end no-name clones
from auction sites or cheap copy imports.
Good luck & happy computing!

Macbook Needs new Battery. Where to buy?

I have one of the slightly older Macbook pros (just before unibody). I need to buy a new battery.
Apple wants $129 for a new battery. I find this to be ridiculous.
Anyone know where I can buy an alternative battery or buy from an alternative source? I know Apple hates it when a new market is created because they charge ridiculous sums for something so basic, but I am all for it.
Now if they would just allow google voice on the iPhone too

You're welcome to buy the cheapest replacement battery you can find on Ebay. If you do, you'll stand about a 50-50 chance of getting useless junk without any meaningful warranty. I find that to be ridiculous, and I'd much rather pay good money for a dependable battery from a vendor whose support and warranty I can rely on.

Where do I buy a replacement battery for a MacBookPro6,2

After 1504 cycles, the "Replace Soon" warning has shown up on my mid-2010 MacBook Pro. I am 100% capable of replacing the battery myself, however I can't find anywhere on Apple's website to buy the replacement battery. All it says is to bring it in for them to replace which is not an option for me at this time.
Does anyone have a SPECIFIC recommendation on where to buy a GENUINE replacement battery for my model? And please don't say "ebay" or "amazon".
Here are the specs on my model: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP582

Apple insists on installing the batteries in unibody MBP's them selves and will NOT sell you the battery otherwise. Your alternative is to make an appointment or ship the MBP to them.
Yes, it is easy to install the battery. I have taken mine out a couple of times.
Ciao.
I'm looking for a non-Apple, non-ebay, non-amazon source for the battery. My Macbook Pro is in use 12+ hours per day for school and work so sending it in for a replacement is also not an option. So strange how it's impossible to find this battery for sale from an online retailer. Macmall, OWC, MacConnection, PowerMax, SmallDog... nobody sells them. :-(

I have 1 GB RAM on an '07 MacBook Pro. 1) How do I check remaining memory? 2) I have Microsoft office 2004 - do I need to buy more RAM to upgrade to '11? 3) I need a new battery ... Is it worth the $$ to buy a new battery, RAM and Microsoft office 2011?

I have a MacBook Pro from '07 with 1 GB of memory. The battery is shot and my AppleCare has run out. I just upgraded the OS to 10.6.8. But a few questions:
1 - How do I even check how much memory I have left on this computer?
2 - How do I check how many battery cycles are left?
3 - I want to upgrade to Microsoft Office '11 because I don't have Adobe Acrobat to creat pdf's and I need to be able to do this for school... Instead of buying acrobat, I figured I would just upgrade to Office '11 because I can generate pdf's from Word. Roughly how much RAM does Office '11 take up?
4 - Does Apple still make batteries for this computer (from '07)? How much do they cost?
5 - How much does 1 more GB of memory cost?
AND lastly -- is it even worth it to spend the $ on more RAM, a new battery and Office '11?
Or does it make more sense to just get a new computer entirely? (trying to avoid this).
ANY help would be sooo appreciated! Thanks.

1 - How do I even check how much memory I have left on this computer?
If you're asking how to check to see if you need more RAM, open Activity Monitor and go to the System Memory tab, then compare page outs and page ins. If page outs is 10% or more of page ins, you probably need more RAM.
2 - How do I check how many battery cycles are left?
There's no limit on the number of battery cycles, it's just that the more cycles you've used the more "worn out" your battery gets. You've got a 4-year-old machine, and if it's still got the original battery, it's probably about time for a replacement battery. You can check battery health using System Profiler... look at the Power section under Hardware.
3 - I want to upgrade to Microsoft Office '11 because I don't have Adobe Acrobat to creat pdf's and I need to be able to do this for school... Instead of buying acrobat, I figured I would just upgrade to Office '11
You don't need Office 2011 to create PDFs. Any application capable of printing can create PDFs on a Mac. Just choose File -> Print, but instead of clicking the Print button in the print dialog, click the PDF button and choose Save As PDF in the menu that appears.
4 - Does Apple still make batteries for this computer (from '07)? How much do they cost?
5 - How much does 1 more GB of memory cost?
I'll "ditto" sig's answers to these.
AND lastly -- is it even worth it to spend the $ on more RAM, a new battery and Office '11?
Or does it make more sense to just get a new computer entirely? (trying to avoid this).
If Office 2004 is still working fine for you, stick with that and don't incur the costs of Office 2011. As to the RAM, only add more if the test I mentioned above indicates that you need it. If you buy more RAM when you don't really need it, you won't see much (if any) performance improvement. That just leaves the battery... and if the machine is still doing what you need it to do and you don't really need a new machine for anything, you could definitely buy a new battery and get a few more years out of it.
