Cheap MBP Battery?

Hi all. Where can I find a relatively cheap MBP battery? The one i have is completely shot. Model # of battery I have: A1281

You can find the proper battery for your model here: Battery Replacement

I would never recommend a battery that didn't come from Apple, as too many have reported problems with 3rd party batteries. It's not worth the risk to your Mac.

This should answer most, if not all, of your battery questions:

do you know if apple has a battery trade in program of any kind?

and i don't want to get a 3rd party battery. i want to get an apple battery from a 3rd party. like from ebay or something (new, of course)

3rd party battery from a 3rd party - OP requested only Apple. The one in this link claims 7.5 hours LONGER (!) from just a 6Whr difference. I'd just bow up and buy one from Apple.

It's rated 1 and a half stars out of 5 as well. Get the one from Apple. Like it or not, cheap should not be used in the same sentence with replacement parts for a Apple Product.
