Need Battery--Apple Store said no longer sell Battery old MacBook

[Frisco]

Asking for a friend with late 2008 or 2009 MacBook--sorry don't have the exact model off hand. Apple Store said they no longer sell batteries for his MacBook so I recommend iFixit. Is that the best place for a replacement battery?

Thanks!

you will find it on ebay

Here's one sold through Amazon
It's the same battery that you can also find at OWC.

I always recommend that you stay away from batteries offered through some asian sites. I have not ever heard of one that turned out to be good. There may be good ones, but I have never heard of any.

Thanks DeltaMac! The Newertech one looks good.

Get the "anker" branded one from amazon. More capacity then OEM and 18 months warranty.

Those ones on Amazon are used.

Get the cheapest battery you can possibly find. I'm serious. Or several of them. The batteries for that model are garbage and last about as long as most third-party batteries. It's not worth replacing the factory battery unless you can find one for cheap. Anker is usually a good choice for third-party though.

The Anker and Greenbox batteries seem pretty highly regarded at a lower price point. I have an Anker in mine (late 2008 Unibody) and I've been satisfied with the performance so far. Plus, they are a lot cheaper than the Apple branded batteries -- I think the GreenBox batteries are $40 and the Anker is $50 on Amazon.
