Apple? Don't be misled.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: APPLE M9572G/A Lithium Ion Battery for 12 inch PowerBook (Personal Computers)
I needed a new battery for my Powerbook. I found a non-Apple one for 66 dls here on Amazon and this one: "APPLE M9572G/A Lithium Ion Battery for 12 inch PowerBook" with a big link to "other products by Apple". Well, it looks like a real Apple battery, so I got the real Apple battery even though it cost 50% more.
I was surprised to open my package when it arrived and see a "TruePower Premium Powerbook Battery". I haven't even opened the box yet. Because I need the damn battery now, I'm probably going to keep it, but I can't help it but feel ripped off. I think the whole thing is quite dishonest. Hopefully it's a decent battery and it matches the look of my Powerbook. I bought this through Amazon from AllMac. You've been warned.

This review is from: APPLE M9572G/A Lithium Ion Battery for 12 inch PowerBook (Personal Computers)
First off, I can't believe Applecare didn't provide a replacement... I mean, I shelled out extra for it and thought it would be covered. Boo to you Apple!
Anyway, I bought this and it arrived < weeks time. Came new-in-box, which was packed and cushioned. At first, I doubted it because it was in just a plastic bag [once you removed the foaming]. However, it turned out to be a genuine Apple product. I plugged it in and checked the statistics on it to make sure it was BRAND new and never used, which it turned out to be [To check, press apple logo, about this Mac, more information, and then Power and scroll down to battery statistics. Cycle count should be at "0", i.e meaning new] Make sure when you buy this... or any other battery, you break it in / calibrate it properly. They are MANY different ways but this is the one I used. 1. Full charge overnight 2. Use till discharged to 20% [Heavy use in my case] 3. Charge for 6+ hours 4. Use till < 10% then full charge again. After that, use as you normally would. Oh, and I definitely recommend my seller - "mac_pro_online". I bought it for SO much cheaper: $80 w/o shipping or tax [Apple charges you $130 for the same thing!!] /$.02 pce!

not as described,

This review is from: APPLE M9572G/A Lithium Ion Battery for 12 inch PowerBook (Personal Computers)
Battery listed as being by Apple, giving the impression that it's original, when in fact it is a clone, which was quite dissappointing as it was the reason I selected it over all the others. On the other hand it seems to work fine but as it only gets occassional use it is difficult to assess it's performance. just note that it's not what the listing claims.
