New MBP 13" battery and the old MB

Tute · 9 Sep 2009 at 21:54

Hey all, question.

Is it possible to take one of the new Lithium-Polymer batteries from the new Aluminium Macbook Pro 13" or 15" and transplant it into an older 13" Aluminium Macbook?

It's the same spec except the CPU, I even think it's the same size.

Just wondered if it's possible.

Thanks.

I'd go with the mentality that if it fits and works then it's ok

I've been thinking about this too on my recently purchased late 2008 macbook.

LOL, I don't really want to try unless someone else has managed to get it to work.

You mean one of the unibody integrated ones?

Or one of the unibodies with removable ones?

Somehow I doubt it...

That's the thing. I wasn't sure if they're unremovable as in "Apple would prefer it if you didn't do that" or as in "it's really fixed in there".

From the pics in there its fixed and unless your an electrical engineer and very lucky i'd leave the idea... not mention where and how are you going to get one of the replacement batteries, apple only so far unless ifixit has one but even then I doubt that!
