I'm wondering if anyone knows the cheapest way to get a good battery for my macbook?
According to CoconutBattery it's running at 36%, and is getting lower and lower everyday. I need to buy a new battery and my MacBook is no longer under warranty..... I've looked around on the apple website but every time i try to find something that isn't brand new, I cannot find it! :mad:
So, if anyone knows what I should do, or knows how I can fix this terrible problem Pleeeeaaaaassssseeee let me know.. I have to have it plugged in 24/7 (or shut down obviously), or the battery goes from 100% to "Please connect to charger" in like 20 minutes! as you can see this is frustrating.
 
Go official. Most of these "battery replacement' posts on MR will always conclude that it is best to go official and not buy third party.
