Hello everybody, I have the title's macbook and so far I have managed with the original battery, despite the naturally reduced performance and the "battery service" signs. However, I want to replace it and I would like to know what other options do I have apart from the "original" battery replacement.
Can somebody suggest me based on their experience what could I buy? I can replace it on my own, I just want some advice on the brand or the store I could turn to. Are ebay batteries any good?
Thank you for your time ;)

The problem with any review for 3rd party batteries is that you can't be sure that the "brand" has been sourcing them from the same manufacturer and/or the manufacturer is constructing them in the exact same manner.

Having said that I'll probably have to dive in on one for a Macbook soon.
