Need a new battery for my macbook

Zascar

Guys can anyone recommend a decent but cheap replacement battery for my macbook? I know some of the chinese ones are useless and die quickly, but there is no way I am paying anywhere near €141 as it is on the apple store.

There are loads on ebay: http://www.ebay.ie/sch/i.html?_nkw=macbook+battery+a1185&_sacat=0&_dmpt=UK_Computing_LaptopsAccessories_LaptopBatteries&_odkw=macbook+battery&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313 - but has anyone bought any of these or can recommend which one to go for or avoid?

Thanks

Heard some good things about these guys a while back. Might not be that cheap though.

Ordered battery from memory-c on thursday arrived today Just under 50 Euro delivery free by fastway. So just charged it so far so good:)

The only way to know if it's a good battery is after around the 10th-15th charge cycle.

My cheap Chinese battery was grand for the first week or so, then it rapidly plummeted until it was at 45% of what it started out at...

Hi RayTaxi.

I need to get a new battery also. I'm just looking for some feedback on your one from Memory C. What's your opinion on it? Still working ok after 2 months. Thanks

Battery is working fine. It does not seem to hold a charge as long as the Apple one but good for about 3 + hours, but my charger also went got a genuine Apple one. So battery says its had 60 charges already though that could be due to faulty charger causing that.

What about this one?

I need one for my 13" Macbook Pro 2009.

I doubt it's genuine. They just say that so they can charge more.
