For a 1st gen macbook, will this work:

?

Looks the same except the Apple battery says 55wh and the one in the auction says 60wh.


Thanks!

It should work, but it may not be up to the 'standards' of an Apple OEM battery in terms of cycle capacity and whatnot.

I see a few batteries out there that say it will work, but those batteries show 60wh/5000mah, while Apple's battery is 55wh/5200mah.

I think the mah is the capacity, but what's the wh?

It's the comparison of Milliamp-hours to Watt-hours. Amps are the current whereas Watts are the power. Watts= amps*volts. I don't see how a battery with a higher Wh rating can have a lower mAh rating unless it can't supply the voltage properly.

Maybe I'm missing something here.

I dunno either. This is it:
