Question about
HyperMac External battery (100Wh) or FastMac TruePower battery
According to the coconutbattery app, my macbook pro battery has only 76% capacity left, which isn't much but I'm getting less than three hours of battery life. I'm thinking of getting a 100Wh HyperMac external battery ($299.95) or just replace it with FastMac's TruePower battery replacement for $100 less. Any suggestions or comments on which one is preferable? Has anyone tried any or both?
I've had serious problems dealing with Fastmac and would recommend avoiding them.
I bought one of their replacement Macbook Pro batteries. After only a few charge / discharge cycles (about 30) it was only lasting about half an hour. At first they tried to tell me this was 'normal', but after speaking to their technical department they eventually admitted the battery was faulty.
I returned the battery to them and they posted out a replacement to the *wrong address*. Fortunately the recipient turned the delivery away - but Fastmac won't talk to me about it at all and I still don't have my battery. They now haven't responded to my emails for over ten days.
