Apple Reviews

As a dyed in the wool Apple believer and a total brand name devotee, the idea of putting an off-brand battery in my iBook was practically unthinkable. I mean my printer is by Epson, my external drives are by Iomega and my usb hub is by Belkin.

Unfortunately, after a long conversation with APPLE Care and checking out the Apple web site where I found out that after one year the lithium ion batteries in Tangerine and Blueberry Original iBooks are living on borrowed time. Also, Apple doesn't make these batteries any more.l guess it's their way of nudging us to a snow iBook.

I even tried the reset procedure Apple described on their website to rule out any kind of functionality error not related to the battery. Also, all the Apple resellers I could find on the web and in the bricks and mortar world are sold out. This is apparently a common problem as the first wave of iBooks turns 4 years old.

But the good new is I'll be darned if the this Battery Technology iBook Battery hasn't worked just fine for the past two days. Now if it goes sour, you can believe me, that I'll be revising the Holy Hand-Grenade out of this review, but for now it fits fine and works,even better. Knock on wood!
