One of my older friends has a Macbook Pro with an A1228 battery. A glance at the Apple website says they'll gladly take $200 off his hands to put a new battery in it. I see ebay batteries for $23.95 shipped. Is there a middle ground with a battery that will last him for a couple years? Or do I just suggest he get the $24 battery and recharge every 2 hours?
The computer was made in 2010 I'm pretty sure, so it's not worth putting much $$ into.
