Just what I wanted, reliable,

This review is from: Laptop Battery Apple Ibook G4 14" A1062 A1080 M8665 M8416 M8416g/a M8416j (Electronics)
This battery is great, I've had it for several months and it has allowed me to truly be wireless once again. The fit is not perfect, but who cares if it doesn't sit in the battery space with precision when it just works seamlessly? The value for not buying Apple branded batteries can't be beat!

This review is from: Laptop Battery Apple Ibook G4 14" A1062 A1080 M8665 M8416 M8416g/a M8416j (Electronics)
Many times Amazon and its sellers offer consumers truly great deals.In this case, it was one of the rare ones, where it might be too good to be true. I received my battery with quickness and eagerly opened it up. It seemed right. Upon attempting to place the battery in, clearly being a knock-off or "other" brand besides Apple became very apparent. You see, the battery's edge would not fit. It stuck out. And not on the rounded edge either. Imagine your car's trunk lid not shutting tightly because it's not shaped right and having to mash it down as best as you can, then locking it in place, as that's the all you can do. I accepted it and used a handy exacto blade and trimmed it off so it would fit. But lo and behold, I used the battery up, and allowed it to recharge completely, to help establish it's base charge, and now it's basically reading as if it's at a constant 85% level when it's dead. If you pull the plug, it dies. It's giving a false reading and was quite a gyp. I think the manufacturers sold me a "similar, should fit all sizes" when in effect they should specify that it truly does not fit the make and model of the computer they are selling it for. The fact that they got 40 dollars out of me, I took as a life lesson for all the deals I have gotten over the years and to go ahead and invest in the real actual quality merchandise for my precious laptop. To other deal hunters out there, beware of this gimmick! I doubt you'll be as relaxed about the issues that I experienced. D.K.

It would be a bargain even at twice the price,

There is nothing spectacular about a computer battery, but once my original iBook battery completely died, leaving me cord-bound, I realized how much freedom one affords you. I didn't want to spent the $100+ for a mac battery, especially since my laptop is old and in need of replacing soon anyway. This one turns out to not only be a third the price as an Apple model, it works just as well if not better. I've had it for several weeks and it consistently gets at least 5 hours on the 14 inch screen fully lit, or nearly 7 hours if I keep the screen at 3/4 brightness. It fits perfectly, although is slightly grayer.I was nervous about buying something so much less expensive, but so far I can only say it was the smartest thing I could have done!
