The slots where the battery goes under the housing screws are off so the battery won't fit in my early 2011 macbookpro. Anyone else have that problem?

I just installed the battery last night and the long screw by the connector was not aligning, however after a push on the battery it lined up and screwed into the slot.

Did you do the recommended complete drain and fully recharge method they recommended. If you have the same macbook pro I have it has been a power hog from the start. I just bought a new battery, it last only about an hour and a half, that is with all the power saving options turned on. Also the display turned down. My battery never lasted very long even when new.

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.

Im using it n a MacBook circa 2007. Not sure if it would fit yours. I'm not happy at all with the run time. I'm only getting about 3 hours. Did better with my old one.

It physically fit in my Macbook pro but didn't work. Only once did it fully charge and battery levels were all over the place. It now resides in the box it came in.

i think the battery should fit your model. But please do yourself a favor and do NOT buy this "Superb Choice" battery because I just did an exchange for one and in just a matter of a couple of weeks, it is beginning to WARP and BULGE like the previous did -- along with a getting a "service" battery notice from my Apple battery monitoring program. This Superb Choice knock-off battery copy uses only a PLASTIC backing and NOT the aluminum metal one like the Apple-manufactured OEM batteries -- I just really concerned about this Li-Ion battery possibly "igniting" and flaming out because of these warping issues, which is also causing my keyboard and trackpad to "jump" all over the place and act funny. I know the Apple battery is about $50 more expensive and you may want to consider buying that instead, even though battery storage capacity has ALWAYS been suspect and does NOT last more than a couple of hours (at the beginning) and gets worse as you "cycle" the battery over 20-30 times after that. If you do decide to get the Superb Choice battery or already have one (out of necessity to get something less expensive), I would advise use with the MacBook Pro in "sporadic intervals" when you really need to go on battery power on a mobile basis and to take it out after you charged it and have electrical power connected for the MBP to operate in a stationary home/office environment. When it comes to these Superb Choice batteries (which might last a half-hour or more longer than the Apple batteries), I guess you have to go by the old axiom: "You get what you pay for." My advice is to use the Superb Choice battery on a LIMITED and carefully monitored basis. Be safe and let me know how things go for you. Good luck, Andrew! :-D

It did not work for me, it's now a white elephant in my drawer. Mine was intended for a Macbook Pro too.

This battery did not fit my 17" MacBook Pro. Be sure to check the dimensions before you order.

Dunno... I just did a search on my serial # and it came up. Try finding your serial # (It should start with a 'MA' or 'MB') and see which batteries list it on their supported units. All I know is it fits my 2006 white macbook perfectly.

The battery slides in perfectly and properly fits in the computer. The computer also sits flat on a surface. However, since the pack has extra cells, it is larger. When the computer is closed and you look down from the top, the battery sticks out. Cara also described the issue correctly. I have no problem and am happy with the battery but if you do not need a longer run time and you do not want your computer to have a bit larger "footprint", stay with a six cell battery.

If I remember correctly, I bought and replaced the internal battery of an iMac computer using this battery that I bought from Amazon. It was an exact replacement and worked fine. As you know, Apple products are notoriously difficult to replace parts. However, this battery replacement was fairly easily just opening the compartment in the bottom with a screwdriver and replacing the battery. The battery is just an internal power source for the clock, etc. when the computer is not on. Good luck, you may want to double check your computers specs on the Apple website to verify that this is the correct battery for your Mac computer. http://www.apple.com/support then go to Mac specs.

the battery should not fall out!!! check the tabs on both sides of the computer.also your springs on the tabs might be sticking.

Yes, at first I thought that it was different memory I bought for my Mac, but looks like it was the same. Works fine in a late-2011 MacBook Pro.

I can tell you that the battery is probably refurbished. I fit, although not completely flush like the original. When I first received the battery it held a charge for about an hour and a half, but now that it is several months old it lasts maybe an hour. This battery is a good bargain if you are not looking for hours of battery time. My mac tells me to "service battery" meaning that it probably is not functioning normally or about its behavior to hold a charge. The caveat is that we get what we pay for.

It's because it's a third-party battery, so your Macbook doesn't like that. That's most likely all.

I had trouble with swapping the battery. I think I had two batteries of the right size, pried this open just fine, but once I FORCED the two batteries in, they were too tall (by the tiniest amount) and were constantly pressing on the chip's button. Has anyone run into that? I'll see if I can find those batteries that didn't fit and double-check their type.
