I may have a record here for longest battery life.
Over 1000 cycles and still 80% capacity
It’s a Macbook 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo from 2007
Never changed the battery, I keep in on all the time.

geez people… read the comments! What a bunch of babies. There are some very helpful comments here– especially the one about re-calibrating your battery. Go back and read the comments! Yes, all of them. Also, turn off bluetooth and airport when you’re not using them to save juice. And check the Apple page for more tips:

on January i bought a new battery for my mbp, so i was so happy… 3 days ago die…
Because i live in mexico and i went to the mexican apple store they told me that is out of warranty whattttt well if you buy it in mexico they give you only 3 months is so so unfair the true is that i dont know what to do even when the prices here in mexico are more expensive i pay almost 200 dlls for it. I think apple have to make fair policies in all the countries, i don’t know what to do…

i do love apple i have a powerbook since 11 years and is still a live and the battery that has it when i get it still is working .. i dont know why does apple is not paying attention to the quality anymore.
they should because the people who bought apple things before get in love of it so quick …but now that love is changing in hate.

Does somebody need a mbp battery to make some art i do have twoooooooooooo
