I hadn't experienced any fitting problems. My macbook is a1226 which is late 2007 pro.

I bought one of these and was concerned by the same discrepancy. However, it has performed perfectly thru dozens of charge and use cycles. I read that due to a new labeling standard, the label was changed, but the battery is the same. I can't verify that, but it works perfectly in place of my original battery.

Based on the reviews posted here, it would seem that some of these batteries are good and some are not. If I were you. I'd return it.

I have had mine for some time and don't recall that it was a problem when I installed the battery. Sounds like you may have to return it and get another, BTW, I do like (and trust) the unit.

these batteries take some time to charge. It is the nature of the beast that the time extends as the charge reaches higher capacity. The last 10% can take as long as the first 70%. I find the percentage on any battery as more of a guideline than a definitive measure. I wouldn't say you have a problem with the product just yet.

Yeah, I don't get it...could be issues with quality control, although I've noticed most who say it fits used a battery other than hyperion.... weirdly it seems to fit my phone more snugly now than when I purchased it..( I have a hyperion battery) or perhaps I just got used to it...it's never fallen off or anything.

First confirm battery specifications in your computer stored info. If, in fact this model battery is called for, then I would order it. I have had no problems with my replacement battery. It is important that you exercise the battery regularly, (Use battery and then recharge, etc.) I can not confirm you will not have problems, only that I have not had any problems.

No the battery does not work and shows that it is defective and needs to be replaced. Find another battery that works.

They probably just chose a battery that looks similar, mine fits just fine, I've had no problems.

I have not experienced any of the issues described in the three one star reviews (several???). I purchased this item after reading third party reviews that gave it a "best buy." Upon receiving a bad battery, I would have returned the purchase to Amazon rather than pursue any other remedy.

My experience is that the battery gets loose. I have 2 batteries in the one I'm using now so that it will be tight. This works for me. I have tried other brands but none are worth owning. Good luck.

My battery fits snuggly into the charge and I have had no problem with it at all. I am very pleased with it.

check to make sure battery is in correct position: I have no problem with mine.

For everyone here who can't get it to fit, it may be defective and you should email the seller. If that's not an option, I personally pried the charger part apart and snapped off two little hinges that were getting in the way of the side buttons. Snapped it back together and works perfectly now.

I bought this battery for my macbook pro and haven't had any problems =/ Many other reviews seem to indicate that folks were relatively pleased, so my guess would be that you got a bad battery =/ Sorry - good luck!

I am not an expert in batteries, but I have used enough gear in the Military to know if it says Compatibility error it could be simply not seated correctly and the contacts may not be making full contact. That is the easy fix. The other work around is if the batter actually works and does not heat up your camera it might be an error code that simply shows up. I get those on my car and for the most part they are due to small issues not related to anything in particular. As I stated, have a different model, but since this is not a Factory Sony Battery it might cause an error to show up on your screen. My question is does it not work at all? Does your device not function? If so, you may have to return the battery and actually buy the OEM Battery from Sony. Usually I take a deep breath, check the connection(s) again and find that the fix is actually easier than the headache. If not, replacing it might be your only option. You can send me more detail and Amazon can forward it to me... I know a lot, but sometimes things just do not function as expected. I hope that helps a bit. Sincerely, a Retired Army SGM.

the battery should work out just fine. I haven't had any problems with mine as of yet.
