Long answer: I have 2013 MacBook air and managed to use the original battery till Mar 2021. What I liked about MBA is I don't have to carry my charger with me. I just charge it at night and use it during the day (less than 8 hours/day). The last couple of years I had to carry the charger and MBA suddenly switched off when battery had 50% left. With the new battery, I'm back to leaving my charger home.

Back around the time when I became a legend that people write stories about here on Slickdeals.
In 10 years, I've only replaced the battery once, so the 2nd battery is dire need of replacement...
Dope that this deal popped up.
I'll throw a Youtube video up on the screen (one of those 10 hour loop videos with no ads), put the screen at full brightness, and let it run down from a full charge. Anything below 4 hours runtime goes back to the manufacturer.
It might be a bit of work for a one-off battery install, but it weeds out the duds pretty well.
My point: it was bad for a 2009 device. Can't imagine how much more tricky newer devices are.
My original battery 6757mAh is still going strong; only 118 cycles count.
Bought this as a replacement in case they stop making it. How well does it store? Do I need to hook it up and charge it before storing it?
Any info on post-install battery training required?

what is/was ur claim/ladder to fame
Haha - those were the good days! Loopholes were rampant cause everything had a human touch (error)!
1. The Starbucks rewards fiasco. Use Starbucks GC to buy more Starbucks GC. This was awesome. Got a free Verismo and over $1000 worth of Starbucks outta it at the time.
2. The epic Sears holiday points debacle. Use Sears points to buy more Sears points. And it was lopsided where you get way more. I'm pretty sure we bankrupted Sears cause of it!.BluLightSpecial (can't believe I still remember his username) had scripted it and actually walked away with multiple TVs, and even a riding lawnmower at the time.
Anyway, I did the battery rundown test and got over 5 hours out of the battery - I ran one of those long Youtube vids (relaxing music or something haha) on full screen and full brightness with the screensaver/sleep turned off. Wrote a quick bash script to print `date` every minute and ran it while that was going. Not bad! I'm pretty happy so far.

The HP Touchpad liquidation and Blackberry Playbook run was another good one.
So many good times here on SlickDeals back in the day when mistake/price errors were a regular thing.
Never was asked to become a Mod on here though. Probably cause I pissed too many ppl off in my glory days...
Don't think I can attach a photo on mobile, but the first Amazon chat rep was clueless, so I asked to speak with a manager or someone who could actually look into this. Apparently, they called the manufacturer directly (RayHom), and was told that there's a fire hazard risk out on this product, and Amazon pulled the product page, and didn't think to tell anyone who purchased it. I told them this was completely unacceptable and I really do hope they pass the concerns to the proper team so people can be contacted if there really is a fire hazard on this product. They offered a return and I told them the battery is in my little sister's computer, in a completely different state. They issued me a full refund without having to return the battery. I really am concerned now, and no one in my family can probably figure out how to swap the battery, so I guess I'll have to have then bring it somewhere for a battery replacement...
