2009 Macbook Battery

[cook.675]

I just got a used 2009 MacBook on craigslist for $150 (yes I know ship it)

Apparantly the seller felt guilty because the battery needs replaced.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of which battery I need to get? I have serial # W895151T8PW 13" late 2009, 2.26 GHz dual.

Also, I read reports that this will take 8 GB of ram, but the apple site says it only takes 4GB. Will it take 8 GB?

Thanks I owe you guys one/

Also, I read reports that this will take 8 GB of ram, but the apple site says it only takes 4GB. Will it take 8 GB?

Yes. You can find specs on all Apple products, including maximum RAM:

• By visiting EveryMac.com: Actual Maximum RAM
• By selecting your model on the Crucial Memory Advisor™ Tool to find RAM information
• By using Mactracker
• By entering your serial number here to find specs for your model.
  (Be aware that some models can use more RAM than Apple shows. Check EveryMac to verify actual usable RAM.)

You can get it for $120-130 from ifixit, but Apple authorized repair centers or stores can replace it for $130, so you have lots of options.

How many hours battery life are you getting? 5-6 is typical for a new battery unless you are gaming.
