Hello; I have replaced my battery once on my MB ( 2009) and it lasted a little over 2 years. I want to replace it again as it is shutting the PC off at 59 %. I do not want to replace the pc as I have upgraded the hard drive and memory and it works great!!

Is there a reputable supplier ?
Thank you forum peeps!! :):apple::apple:
 
I read on yelp that they sell crap? Allot of one star reviews....
 
Buying replacement batteries is like Forrest Gump with the box of chocolates:
"You never know what you're going to get..."

Who supplied the battery that is in your MB now? I was thinking about replacing the battery in my 2012 MBP but if it will only last 2 years and if it shuts off the computer at 59%, hmm. The lowest I have run my MBP is 15%, but definitely still up and running normally at 25%. Am disappointed at the short run time of the battery but I think that battery run time was not a strong point originally (although I am the original purchaser, am only recently the owner--the MBP did 4 years of college duty before being cast aside and left for dead).
 
I bought one from Ifixit for a 13" 2010, and it was really bad. Cant handle its charge but see how good the warranties are from those websites.
 
How long does the battery run time on replacement batteries compare with the OEM? How long do most folks' MBPs run on OEM batteries?

Since this is a secondhand MBP I had never seen how long it went between needing recharging when it was new.

Thanks!
