I am planning to buy a replacement battery for my macbook pro (mid-2010 model) and change it myself

Did a search online and found that there are many different brands

Anyone know what is the brand name of the original battery?

Apple doesn't sell their batteries to third party.
Chances are you'll receive a battery that may or may not hold its charge.

You're recommended to go back to AASP to get your batteries replaced.

it is more expensive to go back to AASP which is why I want to change it myself

cant you open the back and check? :s11::s11:

I don't have the necessary screwdriver and I was going to buy one when I buy the battery

go unicell at sim lim to buy the battery, so far their prices match eBay or sometimes even cheaper, best of all, they provide you with 1 month warranty so if after installing the battery any issue can 1 to 1 exchange on the spot.

i changed my mbp battery on myself, so far so good.

no its not original, but its OEM

think amazon got a few sellers quite reputable. try therE?

I have been looking at amazon as well but it seems that there only third party ones which is why I am asking here

ok my cousin bought a 3rd party off amazon for MBP 2009 and it works fine. not sure if this helps.

Ok, maybe I'll consider getting a battery made by third party manufacturer on amazon
