Found CoconutBattery and discovered that my 2-month-old replacement battery with an original 5600 mAh is now at 2619 mAh-- 46% after just 2 months use! This is a replacement battery to the original replacement battery I purchased (the vendor sent me a "free" replacement per their one year guarantee.) I followed the calibration directions to the letter when I first got these batteries, but I'm lucky if I get at least 2 hours charge.

So I'm looking for recommendations for another battery purchase. I have a 17" pre-unibody MacBook Pro. It's running great and I hope to get another 2-3 years out of it.

I've found OWC and NewerTech as contenders for batteries. Has anyone else had experience buying from them?
