My wife's Black Macbook battery is sitting at 346 cycles and 70% health. Is this a good time to replace the battery? If so any recommendatiions on where to buy one from?

Thanks.

How long does it last on battery? If you need more time on battery, then buy a new battery. If it's plugged in all the time, then you don't need a new battery.

Ebay you can get them for about 60 USD.

Is your wife's BlackBook involved in the MacBook and MacBook Pro Battery Update 1.2 (http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/)? If so, Apple may provide you with a new battery for free. Definitely worth looking in to by clicking the link I provided. -GDF

It depends how much "run time" your getting out of it.
