This is a replacement product made to OEM specifications. It looks and performs virtually identically to the original battery that shipped with my 2001 TiBook. Since retiring, I seldom use the notebook in battery mode and leave it plugged in most of the time. However, the original battery can only hold enough charge (even with energy saving battery management features turned on) for only a couple to four hours. A new battery would be good for up to 8 hours. After carefully "forming" this battery (charge it up, then run it completely down to the point where the laptop puts itself to sleep while actively working on it then charge it again. You can look it up in various places.), the indicator showed 8 hours of charge. Using it in battery mode got me many more hours of useful work than the old worn out one. I have kept that old one for now as an emergency backup should the need ever come up. However, they can and should be recycled. If you have an Apple store convenient to you, they will take it. I think Best Buy and their ilk also collect batteries of this type as well.

Giving this review now after having forgotten about this product but remembers as I go through my order history.

Battery was dead after 3 months; what a waste.

I gave 2-star instead of 1 because I'm not putting this (entirely) on the seller.
Seller's packaging and delivery are quite good and on-time.
Seller would be better off finding a reliable manufacturer for the product s/he sells.
Sorry for the bad review; hope the content explains enough concisely that I don't mean you harm.

Excellent seller. Item delivered quickly, exactly as promised, quality is good. Will buy this item from this seller again.
