Masione Replacement Battery for Apple Macbook 13" White Mac A1185 A1181 MA561

I always avoid 5 star reviews on a product that has not had long enough to prove itself but, if early experience is anything to go by, then this battery is a good economical replacement for what are now ageing MacBook models. It it fits, the lights work with regard to battery status, the battery level indicator on the tool bar works and the battery holds a charge. Not bothered about the slight change in white - the plastic on our old laptop was well and truly bashed and discoloured anyway. The plastic cover fits perfectly and the battery could well pass for the OEM item it replaced. The pack was charged before use and the mag connector also went from green to red when the battery reached 99%. Can't really comment on battery life yet because it will vary according to use. But for us the battery is as much a built in protection against a power cut as anything else. That said, we had a couple of hours of unplugged use with WiFi going etc. Was 20 seconds on the old battery. Surprising how good these ageing MacBooks can be, despite not being upgradeable to 64 bit OS X versions. I would buy again.

The battery is pretty good. Fits well and lasts a couple of hours so no problems there for the price.The delivery was meant to be next day as I'm a Prime customer but it took 3 days to get to me by Hermes. I have marked it 3* for that reason alone as I think the product is good. Big thumbs down for Hermes and their pretty uninformative tracking system. Only 2 updates per day isn't really tracking is it.

My sister broke her macbook battery for the macbook 2013, so I brought this replacement and it did her great. The battery still works today in 2021 with no problems and a long charge. I recommend this brand!

Brilliant value-for-money price (one-quarter the price of an Apple original). Even came one-third charged out of the packet. Now, of course the plastic isn't exactly the same white shade as the original MacBooks (it's still white though) and the fit and finsh of the edges isn't micro-millimetre perfect, however I can easily overlook it for this price. Just superb.

I did read the reviews before buying this, but I thought I'd take the risk; Thinking I would rather replace a few cheap ones if they didn't last too long, instead of paying the huge price for a genuine Apple product.Unfortunately the battery wouldn't charge even though I followed the correct conditioning procedure.It was an OK fit but the corner 'foot' is moulded plastic not rubber like the OEM.I returned it a bought the Shinntto one for an extra £5, which has a rubber foot and more importantly WORKS!

Does what it says on the tin - I bought to give my old macbook an extra lease of life after the original battery died. It's not anything like the capacity of the old one was in it's prime, but for average use is perfectly ok. I get about 90-120 mins out of it under normal use. Great value for the price though!

Lousy product, lousy company to deal with: First battery lasted about 6 weeks. When I asked for a replacement they insisted I supply them with the battery serial number - there wasn't one. When I pointed out that they must have a record of my order as I'd supplied them with all relevant details, they eventually sent me a replacement battery - which also lasted about 6 weeks. Do yourself a favour and don't waste your time and money with this product/company.

Got this for £15 for an old 2008 Macbook (black). It's doing a darn good job so far- the battery life isn't great, but then it hasn't blown up, over-heated or presented any problems over the last few months. I'd buy another for sure.
