So what do you say about a battery? It works? Batteries eventually go bad so they have to be replaced. Key is to get a good battery at a good price. I shopped around and found this battery on Amazon.com for 1/2 the price of other batteries of the same type. This battery has a capacity of 4400 mAh... I found several costing more having only 4000 mAh (so watch for that). Battery works fine and holds it's charge as expected. I guess the other question is how many recharge cycles it will take before it starts to degrade. Time will tell. Till then, I'm happy with this product.

I saw the price on this battery and thought to myself that I really had a great deal! My old battery lasts for about 5 minutes so I have to keep my Powerbook G4 plugged up to use it so I definitely need a new one. When I put it in I noticed that the actual fit was poor (it stuck out another 1/8 of an inch) but that was the least of my problems. A few days later my DVD/CD drive quit on me and also the headphone jack started to act up. I took my laptop to the Genius bar and they said that it sounded like an issue with the logic board and that it may be caused by the battery (uneven power output perhaps?). Anyway I swapped my old battery back in and the problems went away! What a relief!! I am sticking with the genuine Mac batteries from now on. Spend a little more money, save a lot of headache and buy Mac batteries.

I've purchased comparable replacement batteries from other retailers that were the same price but the housing of the battery was MUCH better quality. This is plastic not aluminum. The fit is poor, with sharp protruding edges. The only reason this battery is passable is that it appears to hold a good charge. I'd recommend spending a little extra time finding one that's actually aluminum.
