Back about 2 years ago, I posted that my "new" replacement battery from apple was reading a capacity of 4856 (est), i know because the thread is still on the front page for me, anyway.

I have recently noticed that i'm getting less than 1hr on a full charge, i checked again and it's at 2808 capacity (less than half) This time i am considering buying the 11% bigger NuPower battery, has anyone had good/bad experiences with them? Do they fit exactly like the stock battery? Feel cheaper? nicer?


Thanks

I'm in the market too! Looked at NuPower and it appears they advertise an extra 200 mah battery.
Same price as the Apple battery and made in the USA. Would welcome some comments from users.
