Wow. Random but i needed a battery for an old laptop. Theres a hack where you can install the more recent os x software on your macbook to make it more useable. It works.

I have mid2009 13 inch mbp that's stuck at El Capitan. Could you link to the hack please?
Also, good deal. Usually just a screwdriver (tri lobe) and bunch of screws will cost you half of that. I may bite just to have a backup of my third battery.

It won't let me link the website, but google "macOS Catalina Patcher"
There was a 10% off coupon to click on the item page for me as well. Got it for $15.40 after tax. I kinda gave up on my old macbook but I'll try to revive it for that price. Thanks!
Does anyone have exp with this brand, is it a reliable battery?
I've been considering a new battery for my 2010 15" and my guess is that these are all the same Chinese battery with a different random "brand" slapped on it.
With that said, I might buy the Other World Computing one just because they are a respected vendor and it makes me more comfortable than buying a random brand off Amazon.

I was curious and checked. OWC batteries are $90. Quite a bit more expensive.

I know it is quite a bit more, but knowing that the consequences of a crappy LiPo battery can include an unwanted fire in my house, I'm thinking it is money well spent.

I bought one from OWC and it only lasted me 2 years until started with discharge issues. They only offer a 1 year Limited Warranty. This battery worth it to try at this price.

Then i read somewhere that macOS High Sierra would not work well with 3rd party batteries. Has anyone else had this?
