My internal battery for my 17" MacBook Pro (model A1297) needs to be replaced. I've been attempting to locate one online, but noticed that there appear to be a lot of 'generic' ones. I'm concerned about their quality. Do any of you have a recommendation of where I could purchased a reputable replacement? Thanks!

Be concerned. Most generics are terrible and there's no easy way to guarantee yours won't be. All Apples own batteries are "one price fits all" Uy it from the apple online store. Free shipping.
