Very satisfied, computer holds charge much better now thanks! I have about 90-120 mins life on my 2009 MacBook when used heavily. I'm not sure how this compares to a factory original battery, but this is great for my needs.
I got this one because I thought jeez can't go wrong for $30 or so dollars.. after plugging it in I have a service battery warning and thought maybe after charge cycling it or rating smc that it may disappear but no the message persists. After letting it run down to 2% then charge to 100% as per the instructions, it rapidly drains even faster than the old standard battery I was looking to replace. I have even reinstalled Mac OS but to no avail. I will be putting the original battery back in just in case, as this one is even telling me the full charge capacity is 5000mAh even after it is described as having 5800mAh and only being manufactured 2 months ago. I don't want this one too ruin my whole MacBook so I won't be using it unfortunately.
Image posted not the same as delivered. Case was over size and needed to be sanded to fit.
At first glance the shipped item looked different. It didn't have any screws or a black end with black lugs. Instead it appears to be a moulded clip together housing of one colour. The case was to thick that caused the lid on the macbook to not close properly and bulge up. Once sanding it to match the same thickness as the original the fit was better. At least the lid closed properly.
After a few cycles of usage and charging the performance of the battery is about half of what I expected. From fully charged and in one continuous use the life is less than 2 hours. The original battery that has had 1300 cycles is just below this not to mention its over six years old. I will buy an original next time and spare the grief.
Cheers

This Glass Panel was a Genuine Apple Part, it has signs of where the old glue has been removed and new glue added.
100% better than any Chinese clone i have dealt with in the past!
The battery that I recently purchased for my old macbook is really a bang in your buck. Work as expected and I couldn't be more happier with this. I would definitely recommend this to everyone out there looking for a replacement.
