Fancy Buying New A1181 Battery for Apple 13" MacBook A1185 (Mid. / Late 2006, Mid. / Late 2007, Early/Late 2008, Early/Mid. 2009) Fits MA254 MA255 MB402 MA566 MA561 MA699 MA700 MB061 MB062 MB402

Good fit. Includes adhesive strips. Charged perfection, everything worked. Recommend using installation instructions at iFixit.com. Detailed instructions include 100 steps.

Works well. Great price. Does not last nearly as long as OEM battery but for the price it is a great value.

Long story short, Sold my maxed out spec macbook on ebay, buyer returned downgraded spec macbook with a messed up battery. Ebay couldn't do anything about it as the buyer did a chargeback on the card she purchased my macbook with. The battery in the downgraded macbook was tampered with and the laptop wouldnt stay on without the plug inside. I bought this fancy buying battery to hopefully resolve it. The directions really helped. They did leave out that you should clean the old adhesive strips before placing the new battery. Also buy alcohol ahead of time as it is needed to aid in removing the adhesive strips. Total time it took me to install the battery was about 40 minutes. Taking off the bottom cover was the hardest part. Just be sure to lift up slightly, then pull towards you. So far the battery is doing great. Im able to use my laptop now without it being plugged in and it lasts for about 8 hours or so with just browsing the web. Would buy this battery again because of ease of installation and they provide all the tools you need. I recommend putting the screws on something flat and place them according to their location on the laptop, otherwise you'll forget which screw goes where. Most of the screws you remove are different from each other so be careful of that.

Worked for about a month, but it no longer holds a charge. Laptop only turns on if it’s plugged into the charger and it only stays on for a couple minutes. Would not recommend purchasing this product. Especially with only a 30-day replacement policy.

The battery itself is fine, but the plastic casing feels flimsy and does not have a rubber foot.

I have a MacBook Pro Early 2013 Retina which for a while has been giving me battery issues, and won't hold charge long if unplugged, so decided to gamble and buy a new battery for it. This is not OEM, but gets the job done.For me the work I got it to fit was to lined it up correctly where I needed, test it out a few times and then I took out the adhesive from the back and laid it against the Mac softly so I could adjust it left or right as needed to fit the screws toby the connector (the piece that connects the battery to the motherboard). then I added simple pressure to the rest of the pack. Noticed on the pictures that the battery does not cover all the space at the bottom, there is a gap compared to the original battery, however everything else matches up.I did have a bit of trouble getting the connector in, notice your original battery how the connector wires are actually bent to let it fit down, where this , since is new, the connector wires all came straight so at first seems like its he wrong connector or won't fit, but what you have to do is easily bent them down allow it to the connector to fit/click in place ( just take note of how your old battery's connector wire is bent and try to form the shame shame). I used the small plastic stick that came with the package , to help add pressure down to hold the connector wires down while I bent it down with my fingers. Once you get that done and plug it in, no issues.Took about 1hr to full charge. (when I first plugged in it was charged showing at 66%). The instructions recommends you let it drain away to 2% (no 0%) and then do a full charge.Also the battery (as I mentioned above) comes with an adhesive which you remove and makes it stick to the motherboard (above the trackpad), however on top of it there is also a small plastic clear thin film, which you also remove after you are all done, before closing the case.see the pictures of the installed new battery vs my old all swollen battery. On a scale from 1-10 to replace this battery, (1 very easy , 10 very hard), I rate it about a "4" , however removing the old battery itself I rate it a "6". Do be careful when you remove the 2 middle batteries , do it slowly and carefully otherwise you will rip off the metal plate that sits between the trackpad and the battery. I mostly followed the advise of videos I found on line to use a string and put it under and slowly pull/saw left to right to help remove the old battery.

It works well, and with a little guidance from tutorials, it was easy to install. My biggest issue with this battery is that its charge cycle is not as long-lasting as that of an original MacBook battery. The MacBook battery's charge cycle is up to 1000. With this one, the charge cycle is limited to 400-500. I bought this a year ago, and my charge cycle count is currently up to 494, and it's already telling me service is recommended for my battery.

Works perfect. Fits great. Easy to install. The color is a little browner/yellower than the white of the original color of the MacBook. Kinda matches the color of the apple logo on the top.
