White macbook (I think 2006?) battery needs replacing - advice?

I see apple sells replacement batteries for $129 and amazon sells them for $49-ish. Will the amazon one really work???
thanks!

Hello zebulonnyc,
I see apple sells replacement batteries for $129 and amazon sells them for $49-ish. Will the amazon one really work???
Yes as long as the part numbers match up with what Apple's website has for your Macbook model and it's brand new. I would be a bit more skeptical of used ones, so I would recommend staying away from those.

  • MacBook Pro 10,1 battery needs replaced

    I have a Macbook Pro 10,1 15inch with Retina Display that is just over 12 months old.  It's been working great and now it's not holding a charge.  It says that it's at 77%, but when I click on the %, it states that the battery condition is "Replace Battery Now"  My cycle count for the battery is 178 which is well below the 1000 per the support page.  I haven't been able to get in touch with Apple Care, but it doesn't seem like the battery is accessible. 
    I haven't had any problems, the battery hasn't run dead; recharge when I'm hoovering around 10%.  The most recent update was the Mavericks 10.9.3 but I'm thinking that is coincidence.  Any thoughts?  I've never had any problems where I've had to deal with Apple Care, any thoughts??

    toby8myshoe,
    you can call AppleCare directly.
    Retina MacBook Pros have glued-in batteries; you’ll need to go to an Apple store or Apple-authorized service center, or send your MacBook Pro to Apple, to have your battery replaced. Your battery’s life will be maximized by starting to recharge it when it gets down to 20%; running it on battery below 20% will shorten the battery’s life.

  • I bought my iphone 5s in USA  and now i have come back to my country, India. My iPhone 5s battery needs replacement what should I do?

    Hello!
    My iPhone 5s battery needs replacement and I am not sure where to buy it from. I bought the phone when I was in USA but mow I am in my home country India and I am confused how to find an Apple Store in India so that I can get my phone repaired or battery replaced by them.
    Waiting for suggestions.

    The Warranty on phones is not international.  You will need to send the phone to someone in the US to start the replacement process (or repair), and when they receive the replacement (repaired device), they will need to send it back to you.

  • RAID ALERT: (0x0008/3) - Battery needs replacement - SOH Bad

    I've installed a new C350 recently. After a few days, I receive a warning message from IronPort (RAID ALERT: (0x0008/3) - Battery needs replacement - SOH Bad). What does it mean? Is it a hardware failure?

    This indicates that the RAID battery is fully discharged and cannot be charged. Essentially, a bad RAID battery. I would recommend getting in touch with Ironport support to get the appropriate RMA initiated.

  • What can I do: Macbook Battery need replace at 103 cycle

    I have my Macbook late-2006 and suddenly the battery do not charge at cycle 103.
    I tried to talk to guys at Apple Store but the only thing they can do is to sell me a new battery.
    In fact, the battery was in recall before 2009 but I was not be able to send it back at that time.
    If the battery die only at cycle 103, is this normal? feel so upset...

    If you have a MacBook with the removable battery you can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay.

  • Is there any way to save data(pictures and videos) on a iPhone 3GS with no backup and the battery needs replaced?

    I have an iPhone 3GS, the battery is dead and needs replaced. Is there any way to have the battery replaced and save all the photos and videos that are very important of family and friends that are irreplaceable on it? There has been no back up done on the phone that I know of. Thanks for any help you can give me.

    I have to think you have tried operating the iPhone with the charging cable plugged into a charger and outlet or USB.  It is likely you have tried this and it failed to operate.  Have you tried a Reset on the iPhone to see if that will cause the battery to function ling enough to do an iCloud backup or iTunes backup?

  • G72 B63NR battery needs replacement - looking for source suggestions

    Original (MU06) battery finally gave it up.
    Looking for 'best cost/quality/mAhr rating' replacement source.  Rarely use it on battery alone so bigger one not needed.
    From the chart Provost posted link to, it appears the #'s after G72 don't mean much in this case. 
    Sorry but HP price is way too high for what it is.
    Anyone ever deal with 'thinkmall2011' from ebay?  Showing a 5200mAhr / 6 cell / 10.8v for under $15
    Any & all help appreciated.

    The eBay "knockoff" batteries all come from similar sources. They are made in sweatshops in the Far East. Generally, they are good batteries perfectly adequate for older laptops that don't leave the desk very much. What is the worst that happens if it is bad at $15? The better ones have a 3 year warranty as does the seller you ask about, but hardly anyone ever makes a claim because it is easier to just buy another one at that price than to pay return shipping. If you look at all the eBay auctions you will notice that all the pictures and text are very similar. In other words, there seems to be a "Chinese laptop battery" consortium of some sort out there. I do buy these frequently when the situation calls for it and very, very rarely have a problem. I look for the best consistent feedback and a high score. I say go for it.

  • Does my battery need replaced?

    Hi all,
    My HP dv7 notebook is almost 2 yrs old. Lately, my battery hasn't been able to maintain a charge past 85%, and the maximum charge / battery time limit has been decreasing over a couple of months. I've finally found out about the HP Support Assistant, then ran a battery check.
    Here are my results:
    How do they look? "Charge capacity 68%??"
    Before I even found out about this nifty HP battery check program, I had bought a new battery for my laptop. I just opened it today, popped it into my laptop, and ran a battery check on it too:
    How does *that* look??? That's an old battery they gave me, haha.... but higher charge capacity. o.O
    Should I keep the online-ordered battery, and save it for later? Or shall I send it back for a refund, for now?
    What can I do? I just recently thought it might be my power cord too. Shall I order one, and that'll do the trick?
    Please let me know your thoughts and any advice. Thanks in advance,
    katsumii
    Edit: Edited for additional information

    Hello Katsumii,
    You state that you are having issues with your battery, is that corret? I will be happy to help you.
    You can calibrate the battery (the original battery), and then completely charge it up. Also you can update the BIOS if an update is available.
    Me personally I would keep the 2nd battery as a backup.

  • My ZTE OPEN Firefox OS 'phone battery needs replacing; where can I get a new one?

    I have been searching the web all morning without success. The old battery model is Li3712T42P3h654246h. It has been short-lived from the beginning but now loses charge within 48 hours even when unused with everything switched off. Has it been superceded perhaps by a different model? Websites don't give dimensions or connector positions so i cannot try alternatives.

    here is a link to buy this battery -

  • White Macbook (Mid 2006) Trackpad problem

    I have a white Macbook from Mid 2006 and it has been functioning fine all these years. However just yesterday, it developed a trackpad problem.
    I am still able to move the cursor but nothing happens when I click the trackpad button.
    I then bought an external mouse. However the problem did not go away entirely. The external mouse would work just fine (I would be able to click with it) if I did not touch the trackpad. However on the few occasions where I accidentally touched the trackpad, the external mouse would suddenly suffer the same fate as the trackpad, i.e. I was still able to move the cursor but I could not click with the external mouse.
    I managed to alleviate the problem by checking the "Ignore trackpad when mouse is present" option in my System Preferences, thereby preventing any accidental touches of the trackpad from affecting the external mouse. However I hope to get to the root of this sudden and mysterious problem, rather than sweeping it under a "Ignore trackpad when mouse is present" option.
    I have tried resetting the PRAM and it did not solve the problem.

    Might want to check: Apple->System Preferences->Universal Access , click on the Mouse & Trackpad Tab, then Make sure "Mouse Keys" are off , make sure "press the option key five times .. etc" is unchecked, make "ignore trackpad when mouse keys is on" is unchecked. Check That 1st, because it does sound like a preference problem .. If I think of another one I'll ring in ... Good Luck

  • Black or White MacBook replacement battery

    IMac G5 Purchased November 2004   Mac OS X (10.3.4)   Now a MacBook too
    I need a replacement battery for my 13 inch MacBook. It appears there are none available in the world in white.Is a black one the same they seem available. I could care alout the color.
    Thanks, Steve

    Mike,
    Good point it will kill Apple to see us Zebra's. I just am so glad you answered me. I was not going to order a black one with the warning at the Apple Store. "The black battery is not compatable with a white MacBook". I am so happy to be able to have a spare battery when I am in Afghanistan next month.I will only use it for a short period of time but, it would be a disaster if it ran out of power. I will not plug my MacBook in their maybe 170 to 240 volt maybe 50 hertz power. I tried a made for their power electric razor( Do not use the Water near your face). The razor went on hifire and melted down. I can imagine what that power could do to my MacBook.Thank you so much for your help.
    Steve

  • 15" MacBook Pro (mid2010). I need to replace the battery.

    I have inherited my deceased brother's 15" MacBook Pro (mid2010). The battery no longer keeps a charge, so it must stay plugged in.  Can I change the battery myself? If so, must I use an apple battery to replace? Please advise.

    Apple will not sell you one of their batteries for you to install.  They insist on installing it for you. 
    I have seen on Amazon what appear to be OEM graymarket Apple batteries.  If you do choose to purchase one of them, be advised that you will need a #0 Triwing driver to perform the installation.
    ciao.
