I recently bought my replacement battery for MacBook Pro 15" Early 2011 at Unicell (battery.com.sg) - SLS #02-40/41. Price at $76.67.

They can help you swop the battery. 6 months warranty (1-to-1 replacement), claimed it was original but I'm not sure.

Actually, how we know if the battery needs to be replaced? Mine 5 years already, using it almost everyday. Time to replace? I don't even know if it's bloated like the previous generation.

osx will show u an exclamation battery under your battery status if it needs to be replaced. you can install battery health app to check your current battery health and cycle count. i just bought from aliexpress too and pending for delivery. it is so simple to change the battery.

Got a 3rd party battery from eBay $60+ with shipping, slightly higher capacity and it did not blow up as I feared.

Works fine like original with no complains.

Bought at the same price as yours. No free replacement. DIY myself. Very easy and done in 10 mins.

They also told me original cost $76+ and non-original cost ard $60. Decided to go for more expensive one even i do not know whether it is OEM or original

bought a 2nd hand underutilized macbook pro mid 2010 battery from ebay USA and shipped it thru 65daigou.

Total with shipping about $46.

Pretty good deal as the battery was in near perfect condition and only about 26 charge. Most importantly, it isn't third party.

Carefully so the screws thou, mine was stripped and i had a hard time getting them out.

I am looking out for replacement battery as well.

An after some research, i found this which give me a little more "peace of mind" among the other aftermarket ones.

Do you think this Anker brand is reliable?

Warranty: 18 mths.

Key Power brand is also quite popular & cheaper. But i never heard of them before.

I bought from them and DIY'ed also, 2-3 years back. How's the batt life for you guys?

Mine was quite disappointing, within a few months (think 3-4), the battery life more or less gone. Service battery warning message came back. They said it's normal ageing, not covered by warranty :(

At unicell, she told me it was original but I was skeptical.
Visual inspection 100% identical (I brought the old one to shop)
Installed & works perfectly
OSX System Report Cycle Cpunt reset itself to 1 after I installed & checked.

Now it boots erratically: sometimes hang on dark screen sometimes boots fine.
When boots ok, wifi icon has X on it
I need to replace the wifi module.
Any recommendations where to buy?

Thanks..
