Did a search but didn't find this. I need to replace the battery on my wife's iBook G4 (1.07 model) - still running the original. Are there options to consider or just get another one from Apple?

I'd sooner recommend Apple's battery than Newer's. I read some bad reviews of some of their batteries.

Could you point me to where I could read these reviews?

Apple appears to have one:
A 61-watt-hour rechargeable lithium ion battery that provides up to 6 hours of operation depending on battery saving features used and system configuration. This battery is compatible only with 14-inch iBook having two USB port $129.00 24 hours
Anyone care to weigh in on the pros/cons?

Are the claims of NewerTech true about up to 50% more battery life for the iBooks?
