TruePower Extended-Life Battery

Buy this beefier battery for your 15-inch MacBook Pro, and keep the stock battery as a backup.
Anyone spooked by the online tales of exploding notebook batteries will be relieved to hear that according to FastMac, its TruePower Extended-Life Battery doesn't contain the cells that made those batteries blow up. What's more, the TruePower battery lasted 11 minutes longer than the 15-inch MacBook Pro's stock battery during a viewing of Lawrence of Arabia. DVD playback is probably the most power-hungry task your MacBook Pro can do, which means that under regular use, you'll get about 3.5 hours of life from the TruePower - just slightly more than you can eke out of a standard battery.
The TruePower's aluminum backplate (not a cheesy sticker, thank goodness) matches the MacBook Pro, and it also has similar LED indicators and an LED button. You can only tell the difference between the TruePower and a stock battery if you look at the part of the battery that faces inside the MacBook Pro.
The bottom line. If the extra charge life isn't quite enough, consider this: The TruePower battery is cheaper than an Apple replacement battery. Better battery life at a lower price? Sold.

Larger charge life over stock battery. Cheaper than Apple replacement battery.
Greater battery-life gains would've been nice.

I've had this battery in my Macbook Pro since March. Performance-wise it works well, however in the past month it has started to come apart and is bulging out from the bottom of the computer. Not good.
I've contacted the company for a replacement, which I'm sure they'll honor but still this is an issue of safety.
