Wondering how long i can store one without using is it , is it like regular batteries?
Found a new in box Apple made one for 59.00 but have a new macbook?

Buy the battery when you need them. One factor that determines the life of a Lithium Ion battery is/was its shelf life meaning how long did the battery sit on the shelf before it was actually opened and used. Here is a great resource for you:
