Had a bad experience on my 1st Macbook white. The batt's dead just after warranty.

Now I'm using a 2nd hand MBP (SR). The batt that comes with it still working considerably ok after 546 cycles. But indicates the condition to "Replace Soon". So after long consideration, due to my tight budget and bad experience from MacBook white,I finally bought an OEM batt from www.laptop-battery.my.

Soon to found that this lousy over-priced batt can't be full charge (stop charging at 80%), deplete faster than original batt and the worst is, it suddenly cut OFF at exactly 30% of the batt storage. The original batt still can lasts for 90 mins usage with full charge despite after few hundreds cycles already. The lousy OEM batt lasts only 50~60mins.

The seller claims that their product comes with money back guarantee / 12 months warranty. But when contacted, the seller tends to ignore and argue with his crap.

So lesson learned, buy ORIGINAL.
