Quit working - my new review

After I installed this battery, and completed it's initial charge, my computer would randomly lose power and shut down I double checked my connections to make sure that it was secure and it happened two more times after that. Now it's been about a month and the battery won't work. My charger shows its fully charged and my white power light keeps flashing. Double checked the connections again, but nothing. Switched back to my old battery and everything works fine.

Pros
  • I installed the product and so farit works fine.
Cons
  • The battery did not last but for one week and now I’m stuck with a bad battery.

Right replacement for OEM

Just the perfect fit and price, to replace the failing original battery on my oldMacbook Pro. will purchase again May not be as reliable as the original power adapter.

Pros
  • Facilitates better focus due to longer battery life
Cons
  • May not be as reliable as the original power adapter

No reply from support

Tried many times to contact their support team for a replacement after purchasing 3 batteries and i finally had to count it as a lost after not even having the items installed 6 months!

Pros
  • Fits perfectly
Cons
  • May not be as compact as the original battery

Revainrating 1 out of 5

probably a good thing this is no longer available to purchase

The battery worked like it should have for a short period of time, perhaps a month, but now no longer holds a charge. Even after I fully charge the battery, after I unplug it from the wall, the battery charge will drop to 7% within 5 minutes. Terrible.

Pros
  • Made with high-quality materials for reliable and long-lasting performance
Cons
  • May not be worth the cost

Don't buy this battery!

The battery drops suddenly from high percentage like 80 or 90% to 7%. It stay in 80 ies % for like 20 min before it drops to 7 and then will die. I don't recommend anyone to buy this product.

Pros
  • No need for third-party battery software
Cons
  • May require frequent maintenance

Product failed after two weeks.

Battery worked good for two weeks, then quit holding a charge. Computer will not power on; checked power connection, and battery connection. In the process of checking if board died.I should have reviewed this earlier, but I waited to post since I was unsure if I was just missing something.

Pros
  • Increases user convenience and ease of use
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain hardware upgrades

Battery uncalibrated and crashes my computer

I bought this battery based on good ratings, but ever since I put it in, my computer keeps randomly and unexpectedly going into sleep mode on its own. I've tried recalibrating the battery several times and that hasn't helped. I bought a new charger as well and that hasn't helped either. Will be looking for a different battery.

Pros
  • Saves money by prolonging the life of your computer
Cons
  • May require special tools to install

Great price. Well-known brand. Easy install.

I did some research on aftermarket batteries for my MacBook Pro. Ninjabatt rated high enough to convince me and I'm a very particular shopper for my electronics.

Pros
  • Definitely above average battery life
Cons
  • No instructions at all, it doesn't work properly, jumps from 60% to 20%.Waste of money.

Easy install for years of long life!

NinjaBatt battery was easy to install after removing bottom plate on my MacBook Pro 15” (mid 2012) model.Started working very well with new life and long periods of usage, thank you!

Pros
  • Great replacement.
Cons
  • May not charge as quickly as the original battery

Easy Battery Replacement

Ordered this battery as a replacement for a failed one on my Mac. A good low-cost option to bring an aged Mac back to life. Even better was the simple ordering, quick delivery and a replacement that included the two needed screw drivers to successfully complete the job. All in, about 15 minutes of effort. Re-calibrated battery and charged up. Back in business. Thanks NinjaBatt for making this easy and affordable.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • May overheat and damage the laptop

Batter only worked for a week

Battery connected and worked for the first two weeks but it quickly started dying out like my previous old battery. Not it no longer turns on even if the battery is being charged.

Pros
  • Tools needed to install came with battery
Cons
  • May not fit properly in some laptops

Does not hold charge

Terrible product. Does not hold a charge at all. Not only did it take forever to fully charge (more than 6 hours), the battery percentage would drop from 50% to 7% instantly. This was after fully charging/depleting over a few days and experiencing the same result. Not worth your time or money. There is a reason Apple charged $129 for a battery and this one is only $55. Look elsewhere.

Pros
  • Provides longer-lasting battery life for MacBook Pro 15" models from 2011-2012
Cons
  • May not be as environmentally friendly as the original battery

Not worth the money or headache

For some reason, after installing this battery my Mac's battery life has improved but anytime I close the screen it turns itself off. It's also inconsistent. I'll charge the laptop, take it off the charger and it'll drop from 95% to 4% and turn off. Will probably put the original battery back in.

Pros
  • Reduces the need for carrying charging cables and adapters
Cons
  • May not be as efficient at running certain software programs

Random Sleeps after install

so this battery worked good for the first week or so. after that, it would start causing my laptop to randomly sleep while charging. at first it was rare but just before writing this review it happened 3 times in less than an hour. only started happening after i got this battery and am worried it could blow from a short.

Pros
  • Enables better computing performance without interruptions
Cons
  • May not hold up as well under stress as the original battery

Nice Battery - Great Price

I only installed the battery two weeks ago, but so far all indicators show a good and stable charge with smooth operation.

Pros
  • Reduces the need for costly battery replacements or repairs
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain protective cases

Charge and go! for my opinion

What I like is the price. I got sick of the laptop being at 89% and it restarts or shutdowns (oem battery). Apple wanted gas money prices for a new battery. This was a good price and great value! As soon I installed it thanks to the great tools it comes with, the laptop recognized the battery and had great cycle time (Coconut battery application). I let it stay off the charger until it went down to 5% then I charged it up to 100%. It works great! Highly recommend this battery and company.

Pros
  • Boosts productivity while working in areas without power access
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain third-party accessories

A solid choice so far

After a month of usage, the battery has been working well. While my battery checking app in my laptop showed the battery as less than full original capacity the first time used, that seems to be the norm with batteries for a laptop of this age.

Pros
  • Todo bien.
Cons
  • Not worth the $$

Nice battery! Works Great! Fits Well!

This battery comes at a 30-40% savings over other "official” Apple batteries. Must say I was skeptical but turns out for no reason. Battery fits perfectly in my 15” MacBook Pro late 2011. Nice fit and finish. Virtually identical to the original one. Even comes with the two screwdrivers you will need. Prior to installing this, my computer was barely able to startup (and sometimes it didn’t at all) even with the power adapter plugged in. Once I installed this battery the computer came to life and

Pros
  • Works great, no problems.
Cons
  • May cause damage to the laptop if installed improperly

Survival through Rigorous Conditioning is Key

The replacement battery for an Apple MacBook Pro 15” Mid 2012 seemed promising against its competitors. But it failed twice during the battery conditioning process. I wanted to try it to again with a return and replacement but there was no replacement available at the time. I chose to go with the runner-up competitor which had an available replacement. It survived the rigorous conditioning procedure and continues to perform faultlessly.

Pros
  • Everything
Cons
  • Not as durable as the original battery

Don't buy, my laptop turns off randomly now

After I installed the battery I thought everything was fine, then a few days later I am working on my laptop and the screen goes black and my laptop shut down for no reason. I waited a minute or so, powered back on and it re-started and had 100% battery life. This has now happened several times and it seems to happen every 2-3 days, I would suggest buying a different battery.

Pros
  • TRUE CHARGING CAPACITY THAT LASTS: Every one of our replacement notebook batteries are tested to meet OEM specifications. Our Li-po battery is rated at 10.95V/77.5Wh - true charge capacity that won’t let you or your laptop down.
Cons
  • May cause the laptop to shut down unexpectedly
