PSA: MacBook 2,1 battery

[lowendlinux]

I just wanted to let you folks with old MacBooks know that I got a battery off Amazon from Lavolta. The battery fits perfectly and it gives ~4 hrs of battery life on Snow for ~$40 vs the $120 for an apple battery. For me it's a would buy if you need a new one. Here's the amazon.de link

I'm looking for a new battery for my Early 2008 (black). For how long time have you used it now? Can you e.g. give an update on it after a few cycles?

I have an unoriginal battery from MTech (or something like that) and it died after just 5 cycles.

Not a problem

Will it fit mid 2009? Pre unibody?

Hope the next one they make will last just as long.

Yes.

So at 5 cycles it's still good to go I think we've found a winner.

I saw one on Amazon for $20 a few weeks ago.
