Apple advises against 3rd party batteries, and I tried one from another vendor that fit but wasn't recognized. Will this work?

My Anker has worked fine. I haven't heard about third-party batteries not being recognized.I have an early 2008 MacBook Pro. I don't know if that makes a difference. Prior to this battery, I had gotten them from Apple, but since last year they've considered my model "vintage," and they don't support it anymore. I just assumed I couldn't get another battery from Apple for it.

I actually was helping a friend with this battery and it was my only exposure to Apple products. The battery installed easily, was immediately recognized by the laptop and the vendor provided clear instructions for what might be called "conditioning". We followed their instructions discharging the battery in several cycles and did nothing else. At this point it's performance has been flawless but it has only been about 1.5 months and he has not even used the laptop on battery power . Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Worked great for me. My MacBook recognizes it and charges it just the same as the factory battery.

I have a Mac Book Pro. The Anker battery I ordered works, the fit is not perfect and occasionally the power indicator does not recognize the battery.

I tried to purchase a replacement battery at the Apple store for my laptop but was told they no longer sold them. They advised me to buy a replacement from a third party vendor. After checking on alternatives, I purchased the Anker and have had no problems.

I'm no expert in "all different ID's", but it does fit my Macbook with A1185. I can tell you the picture is not what you get... The picture is just like the factory battery, the one I received is just like the other aftermarket ones you see here on Amazon. It does fit and appears to be OK although mine does not leave the desk very often anymore.

Don't know - you should check elsewhere for listings of macbooks that all use the same battery. Mine is a 4,1, and it's working fine, fit is perfect.

K, it's best to check with the Vendor that sells the battery for the exact replacement, that's what I did.

I'm sorry, I can't tell you whether mine is the same because I don't run OSX on mine. I think I found a part/model number on the original battery, did some research from there, and matched this as a replacement to that. You may be able to go through the same process :) I hope this helps, sorry I can't give you a yes or no answer.

I believe it is the right battery, however I ordered one for my 5th Gen 80 GB iPod and it would not charge. I returned it and got the Upstart Battery brand, which worked fine.

You have to see the model of your battery that came with your macbook and you have to buy the same. I did like this and works very well!!

Go to iFixit.com. Find your model MBP. Look up number of battery for it. If that is A1286 then probably so. I always consult iFixit to get part info then shop around for best part deal - Typically Amazon ;-)

It fits. But my A1237 ran very weird when it was installed (lagged, random freezing of the os, etc). I went back to the original battery again and it runs great again.

The items that I bought were. But there are others that are made by aftermarket companies that may or may not be compatible. If the description reads "Apple Compatible" that is generally code that means it is "supposed" to work, but I have found that sometimes they just do not.

Hello, I have a 2007 Macbook 13 inch with the coin release circle for the battery. I received my new battery a few weeks ago and it fit and works great! Mine is a ASMB013, but as I stated if you have the info I mentioned, it will fit...

no I think it's the wrong one, I just ordered this and it did not fit. it looks like this battery is designed to fit on right side of compartment, 3icp5/69/71-2 is for the left side. you can tell by the curved corner. I'm still looking for 3icp5/69/71-2

I purchased a replacement battery for my Insprion and it fit and worked. I didn't worry about if the replacement battery was going to work because I have used Amazon enough to know they will take it back if it is wrong. I hope this helps.

Open your battery compartment and on the inside it has your specs. If not go on apple.com support type in your serial number and it will give you the right specs.

It will work just don't expect the charge to last as long as the original Apple battery. If I use my laptop a lot during the day the charge won't last for more than a few hrs and it's still fairly new.

It is for a 13" Macbook. Be warned it is not an Accessory Power Brand battery. There is no manufacturer listed on the packaging, manual or product, so there can be no 3-year manufacturer's warranty.
