Where did you get a battery? The homo's at the apple store said that they can't sell me a battery.

@Hugopato i always fully charge it use the battery until it reaches 20% and then i recharge it.i never use it plugged.now iam at 543 cycles (i use it at work and at home) and iam at 75%.but i think its time to replace it as its 2 years old.

@montego24 hey my mac has 56 cycles, 19 months of daily use and it has 86% of current charge, how you manage to extend life like that?

is there a better 'unofficial' battery that i can buy and replace?!?!? im about to buy a new 1, but i just want the best!!!

@Crsnpalmer We need to replace a battery if it does not hold the charge anymore, and, most important, when you want to ship your Mac Book by freight. NO Batteries allowed, and the luaggage gets rejected, thats whay!!! NOT even flashlight batteries are allowed, Now I have to find a dealer who can do it 4 me...

What kind of screw bit is that, exactly? I've alread tried a T5 and T6 and it's somehow in between.

Very nice video, even I could do this and I am illiterate about fixing things like this. I would like to see a digital pic of what the tip of that screwdriver looks like to buy. Thanks for making this video. Well done.
