Yes it works as I also have a 17in MacBook Pro and replaced the original battery with this one.

If your 17" MacBook Pro has a removable battery - it will fit - and is working great!!

I think you can go on the Apple site and see what their replacement battery is. You should then be able to cross reference. There was a huge price difference and warranty time period difference between the two.

Joanne, I see no one answered your questions, but this is the same model number I have. Did you end up getting this battery? If so, does it work okay? Thanks!

I believe that is the same model as my mac book. It is compatible however, this battery does not hold a long charge. Mine can probably max out at 2 hours, depending on what I'm workin on.

No this battery is for the older white MacBook model, not the a1278 unibody

You have to see the model of your battery that came with your macbook and you have to buy the same. I did like this and works very well!!

Yes, it is compatible wiht that part number. This battery performs about as well as the battery purchased from Apple. However, the battery form Apple is a better battery. The computed use and voltage data is better from the Apple battery. Is the better data worth paying twice the price? It was not to me on a laptop that is 5 years old.

My Macbook is a 2009 "standard Mac Book white". When you pull your battery it should have the part numbers on it for reference. Mine had Model No. A1185.

i think the battery should fit your model. But please do yourself a favor and do NOT buy this "Superb Choice" battery because I just did an exchange for one and in just a matter of a couple of weeks, it is beginning to WARP and BULGE like the previous did -- along with a getting a "service" battery notice from my Apple battery monitoring program. This Superb Choice knock-off battery copy uses only a PLASTIC backing and NOT the aluminum metal one like the Apple-manufactured OEM batteries -- I just really concerned about this Li-Ion battery possibly "igniting" and flaming out because of these warping issues, which is also causing my keyboard and trackpad to "jump" all over the place and act funny. I know the Apple battery is about $50 more expensive and you may want to consider buying that instead, even though battery storage capacity has ALWAYS been suspect and does NOT last more than a couple of hours (at the beginning) and gets worse as you "cycle" the battery over 20-30 times after that. If you do decide to get the Superb Choice battery or already have one (out of necessity to get something less expensive), I would advise use with the MacBook Pro in "sporadic intervals" when you really need to go on battery power on a mobile basis and to take it out after you charged it and have electrical power connected for the MBP to operate in a stationary home/office environment. When it comes to these Superb Choice batteries (which might last a half-hour or more longer than the Apple batteries), I guess you have to go by the old axiom: "You get what you pay for." My advice is to use the Superb Choice battery on a LIMITED and carefully monitored basis. Be safe and let me know how things go for you. Good luck, Andrew! :-D

Yes, they will work with all a1181 style MacBooks. You need to bump up to 85w for the macbook pro. The only downside to the L plug is clearance if you have a hard cover on your mac. Hope this helps.

The part number A1281 is the same so it should work. I just put one in my daughters late 2008 15" MacBook pro and it seems to work ok. Ask me in six months...

My Laptop is an Apple model A1150, year 2006 and this response worked well, and model of battery I replaced was: "15-inch MacBook Pro Rechargeable Battery" Model No. A1175

I'm no expert in "all different ID's", but it does fit my Macbook with A1185. I can tell you the picture is not what you get... The picture is just like the factory battery, the one I received is just like the other aftermarket ones you see here on Amazon. It does fit and appears to be OK although mine does not leave the desk very often anymore.

There appears to be conflicting information here. A1331 and 661-5585 are the correct numbers for a unibody macbook, not pro, battery. There is also a comment from a reviewer that he put one in his white unibody macbook. I'd probably not roll the dice on this until there is a more accurate description.

It worked for my 17 inch macbook pro purchase about that time. Good luck. The apple Store told me to use it plugged in and not invest in an expensive Apple battery. I chose to invest in an inexpensive battery. The machine is still working.

My Anker has worked fine. I haven't heard about third-party batteries not being recognized.I have an early 2008 MacBook Pro. I don't know if that makes a difference. Prior to this battery, I had gotten them from Apple, but since last year they've considered my model "vintage," and they don't support it anymore. I just assumed I couldn't get another battery from Apple for it.
