I use my 2007 Macbook pro on location for my commercial photo business. Love my Mac but neglected to calibrate the original battery on a regular basis. Although 3 years is not bad for a rechargeable battery I may have shortened its life due to my lack of care. For the last year I have had to plug it in which on location kind of defeats the the purpose. After reading several reviews I purchased the Apple replacement. It's the only way to go. Using an off brand battery seemed like a bad idea from the start. Got the battery from here in a couple days, popped it in and followed the calibration steps from Mac's site. Went from 20 minutes of battery life to almost 4 hours (light website surfing) - the life of the charge does vary and I am sure it will be less on location editing images BUT this battery is as good as the new one and brings my laptop back to life!

If you have a MacBook Pro that uses this battery I will not be telling you anything new. The battery is average at best. This is my second battery in less than a year and it does not stand up to even average use. The charge does not last long and I have yet to get 300 cycles on the battery. I do not use my computer except for a couple of hours in the evening so it's certainly not from excessive use. If you want to use your laptop without a power source, you have no other option but to put up with this battery.

Comments about Apple Rechargeable Battery for 15-Inch MacBook Pro:
The rechargeable battery of my 15-Inch MacBook Pro (early 2008) stop charging after to leave it in my computer for a long time while it was plug in with the power cable.
Having a new battery becomes essential at some point and how long it last is gonna depend of the way you use it. In essence, use the battery as much as you can and the power cable only to charge it.
Regarding my purchase specifically at B&H versus Apple store, there was no question when I found out that B&H was $10 cheaper and the delivery date was next day with not charge in NYC area in contrast to 5 days delivery through Apple, since they don't have this product anymore in stock on their stores and you have to order on line.
The battery came in their original box and wrapping. Its was easy to install and worked right away. I have charge it completely already many times and I don't have any problems with it. It last around 3.5-4 hours and take another 3 to 4 to charge completely.
I am using now the battery as primary energy source in my laptop and now I realize how convenient this is.
The battery is highly recommended, to purchase it at B&H is recommended even more.

Comments about Apple Rechargeable Battery for 15-Inch MacBook Pro:
I tried a non-Apple battery. It was poorly manugactured and had to be pried out of my laptop due to an extremly tight fit. It also wouldn't take a full charge. This battery took a full charge right out of the box. And B&H had the best price.

Comments about Apple Rechargeable Battery for 15-Inch MacBook Pro:
Pretty much what you would expect. It seems like the replacement battery does the same job as the original. Over time, they don't keep a charge quite as well but the original lasted over 3 years before becoming unusable.

Not a lot of other options. The battery probably lasts around 3 hours for me, but I expect it to die over time as my previous battery did. I still have to lug around a charger everywhere though.

Comments about Apple Rechargeable Battery for 15-Inch MacBook Pro:
I'm on my third macbook pro battery after about 5 years of having the computer. So far, its the only thing that I've had to replace/fix. I use it mostly with the AC power adapter and haven't properly cycled the previous batteries to keep optimal battery health. I was scared to test out any of the cheaper off-brand batteries because of all the terrible reviews so I decided on this one. Buying from B&H is slightly cheaper [...] Sorry Apple.

Comments about Apple Rechargeable Battery for 15-Inch MacBook Pro:
Almost went with one of those cheap off-brand replacements when my battery ultimately died, but I'm glad I went with this legit Apple one for an extra 60 bucks. It's well worth the price to keep your macbook running as good as new.
