I mistakenly bought an A1381 battery off eBay for my 2011 MacBook Pro i7. I requested a return, they are taking a while. But in the meantime, I wanted to know if a 2009-2010 MacBook Pro 15" A1381 battery was compatible with a 2011/2012 MacBook Pro 15"..

Well, I tried it out myself. The short answer is no.

Although, it does work, the battery got super hot, it made weird noises, and it did boot.

I grounded myself before, but I had to pull it out.

So, do not try it unless you want to blow up a MacBook Pro :cool:
