Where to buy MacBook Pro Retina Battery

[member 428835]

Hi PF!

Does anyone recommend where to purchase a new battery for my MacBook Pro 13" Retina Late 2013? I was thinking here

but I wasn't sure if I should buy from Apple directly or if there are cheaper opportunities.

Thanks!

There's always cheaper alternatives but a genuine Apple battery preserves your warranty especially with the spate of defective batteries in different circumstances and products in the news.

Batteries have added circuits to monitor the battery charge and health and an apple battery will naturally conform to that standard.

Buy from Apple store. You can't tell the battery is genuine or not if you purchased from third-party stores.
