[QUOTE="Mac Man 2007, post: 1940028, member: 393353"] I felt burnt on my recent failed OWC battery for the MacAir 213. It was lightly used at 190 cycles but was over warranty period. I didn't ask for a free replace just some adjustment as one cell was swollen and the battery was acting up. OWC acted like they were willing to work with me on it then I got a yada yada yada letter with all the reasons why I know a battery fails from abuse and gaming and all the stuff I do not do. So they offered me free 2nd day shipping. Their SSDs are solid and other stuff I have bought. I have an OWC battery in my MacBook Pro that seems to be good. That said I did not like the customer service and through this forum I found [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.laptopbatteryexpress.com/Apple-laptop-batteries-s/10.htm[/URL] . They are not cheap but they came recommended from good users here and a 2 year warranty. So far only 37 cycles but it gives good life off the charger. I rarely deep discharge when using it. [/QUOTE]
