Macbook Pro Replacement Battery - Worth it or not?

    Hi All,

    Happy Christmas!

    I have a late 2008 MBP and my battery has had a good run -

    Battery Stats;
    Cycles - 544
    Health - 86%

    Fully charged the battery says i'll get 2hours 45 minutes.

    In reality, i have to turn the wireless off and close all other programs to watch a 2 hour film.

    What i'm trying to figure out is whether its worth buying a replacement battery from the likes of;

    - Bavvo on Amazon
    - Or this crowd

    Does anyone have any experience of this?

    Thanks in advance,
    James

    EDIT - I've ordered a Samsung 840 Evo to give the performance a bit of a kick, think the power use may be less than my current drive, so that may help.
