   After read the first review, I really wondered if I should try! But, with the low price, I decide to try it with my beloved Apple Macbook. It turns out to be a good buy that last almost 60 minutes longer than the old original Apple battery. Now, it is still doing great after 4 months. And, I do not experience the issues from the previous review and may think its quality improvement significantly. It’s a good deal for me and save me more than 50% than from Apple Stores

   I read the reviews and searched the net for a replacement battery for my Macbook Pro. The prices were all over the place from $50 to $130 and the reviews were all pretty much the same …. poor. So it seemed the prudent thing was to get a reasonably priced one and see what happened.
   
   One of the objections that I read to this one was that the color wasn’t a match for the case. Yes, if you turn the computer over and tilt it back and forth you can see the difference in the surface of the battery compared to the computer case. I don’t know about you, but I seldom turn mine over to view the aesthetics, and so far no one here in the “look-at-me” city I live in has made a comment (though I am ready with a couple of snappy come backs.
   
   But the important part is the fit and function. That seems as good as the original, which was what is to be expected from any battery. Function problems are usually more related to user care than manufacturer quality, so read and follow the guidelines and you can’t go wrong with this one!

   computer batteries go. my original went, in its time.

   this was a great replacement.

   remember to season it; charge all the way, run it down, repeat two more times.

   Title says it all – no complaints until it died without warning. Amazon was kind enough to issue a return/refund even though I was a week past the 30-day no-questions-asked return period.

   I think I will go with genuine Apple for the replacement.

   As a previous reviewer mentioned, the battery cover does separate from the battery. The battery (and its loose cover) stick out from the laptop, trying to catch on things and threatening to pull the cover off altogether. I don’t believe it’s worth saving the money.
