You get what you paid for,
I have an older generation macbook 13 inch from 2006. Then, the battery suddenly failed a week ago. Seeing the original battery is about $120. This item is only $40. Like others say, it doesn’t fit “perfectly”. I mean it doesn’t fit 100% as the original battery; but, I will say it fits around 98%. The only difference is the rubber thing is white (not gray as other original three). But, i never look at the bottom of my laptop when I use it, and I don’t really care whether it fits 100% or not as long as it doesn’t fall off (it doesn’t) and works well. Today is my first day using the battery, and the first time I turn on the computer after fully charged, it shows around 3:30 on the gage, which is not too bad for a generic model. Of course, it would be nice if I bought the original with $120. But, for me that was too much for my 4-year-old macbook. If you have a newer macbook that’s less than 2 years; I suggest to get the original from Apple. If yours is old, and/or don’t really care about those little details like me, go for this one!

|Cheaper than original but is it worth it?,
I bought one of these to replace the aging original from my coworker’s macbook. While the battery fits and has identical performance to the original, the overall quality of the battery is lower. It doesn’t fit smoothly into the battery compartment; you have feel the seams all around the edges. It is also slightly thicker than the original which means it sticks out a bit from the bottom of the notebook.
PROs:
1) Cheaper than the OEM from Apple
2) Same performance as OEM
CONs:
1) Does not fit perfectly
2) Slightly more bulky that original
The price is approximately 60% of the OEM direct from Apple, so the question any buyer needs to ask themselves is if savings are worth the downside. If you are a very particular person, I’d suggest paying more for the perfectly fitting original. On the other hand if you don’t feel like the negative factors I’ve described will bother you that much, go ahead and get one.

|It works,
First off, the original battery for the Macbook isn’t a five star item. I wish the battery life were longer. When you experience something like the iPad battery you are permanently spoiled. This battery seems to work as well as the original battery. It was a little hard to install. I had to put some extra pressure on it to get it properly seated, but once that was accomplished, it worked well. The mac sees it and reports on it. The indicator works. The only thing it doesn’t do is warn me when it is going to shut down when it’s totally out of juice. It didn’t shut down until 5%. Speaking of percent, the price I paid was 43% of the price for the “real deal.”
From the outside, the fit looks good. It is much whiter than the rest of the casing, but my macbook is four years old and has been through some things. I don’t spend a lot of time looking at it from the bottom.
I am satisfied. I would give the original battery three stars, too.
