Can't believe Applecare didn't cover this.. oh well. Amazon to the rescue! 
2008-05-25
First off, I can't believe Applecare didn't provide a replacement... I mean, I shelled out extra for it and thought it would be covered. Boo to you Apple!
Anyway, I bought this and it arrived < weeks time. Came new-in-box, which was packed and cushioned. At first, I doubted it because it was in just a plastic bag [once you removed the foaming]. However, it turned out to be a genuine Apple product.
I plugged it in and checked the statistics on it to make sure it was BRAND new and never used, which it turned out to be [To check, press apple logo, about this Mac, more information, and then Power and scroll down to battery statistics. Cycle count should be at "0", i.e meaning new]
Make sure when you buy this... or any other battery, you break it in / calibrate it properly. They are MANY different ways but this is the one I used.
1. Full charge overnight
2. Use till discharged to 20% [Heavy use in my case]
3. Charge for 6+ hours
4. Use till < 10% then full charge again.
After that, use as you normally would.
Oh, and I definitely recommend my seller - "mac_pro_online". I bought it for SO much cheaper: $80 w/o shipping or tax [Apple charges you $130 for the same thing!!]

Everything what I could expect 2007-08-03
That's excellent... I think you can't search something different to your original battery, then, it's excellent.
Thanks

Apple? Don't be misled.

I needed a new battery for my Powerbook. I found a non-Apple one for 66 dls here on Amazon and this one: "APPLE M9572G/A Lithium Ion Battery for 12 inch PowerBook" with a big link to "other products by Apple". Well, it looks like a real Apple battery, so I got the real Apple battery even though it cost 50% more.
I was surprised to open my package when it arrived and see a "TruePower Premium Powerbook Battery".
I haven't even opened the box yet. Because I need the damn battery now, I'm probably going to keep it, but I can't help it but feel ripped off. I think the whole thing is quite dishonest. Hopefully it's a decent battery and it matches the look of my Powerbook.
I bought this through Amazon from AllMac. You've been warned.
