Can anyone recommend a supplier of decent quality batteries, at a modest price?

… I think all or most are made in China; so 'country of origin' should not, of itself, be an issue.

I have a little white MacBook which remains occasionally useful, so two years ago I treated it to a new 'aftermarket' battery … which is now useless.

Before throwing good money after bad, I thought it worth asking for opinions.

The thread subtitle reads: A1185 equivalent, for 13" MacBook

Thanks, Chris

At that price, it should be genuine Apple … but, especially with the additional shipping cost, it's probably worth considerably more than the ten year old MacBook.

… Which is why, of course, I made the cheapskate purchase two years ago

Edit: for comparison, most of the 'equivalents' from UK suppliers on ebay are about £16

… Yes, it looks like you get what you pay for.

A quick update:

The aftermarket battery having been declared dead, I decided to open up its case:

Three cells and small circuit board … with nothing obviously amiss

So, I tried reconnecting it

Yes … it works

First try, it charged to about 76% and after a couple of cycles is now charging to 100%

I can only assume that some dimensional tolerancing error was causing a bad contact on the connector !!

… The pack is now held together with Kapton tape
