What kind of battery do I need for a MacBook Pro- early 2011

A link to other countries and regions was supplied in posted example (blue text link)

you may find sources of newertech nupower batteries, & owc parts on global stage.

This company knows how to ship batteries. One they sent to me via USPS (post office)

and it expanded/leaked in transit. It was sent back to OWC; and they sent replacement

via UPS (united parcel) to Alaska in two days; record time, & marked "Dangerous Goods."

Also recommend newertech calibrate instruction page for any batteries that can use them.

Doubt my experience would differ over EU ~ these are sent by air+truck (canada to here.)

These examples have been very good. Links to calibrate instruction from newertech

can help maintain cells; in addition: careful charge use, to avoid accumulating 'Cycles'.

Use power adapter when grid power is available; this helps keep battery at its best.

That is the best place to find a battery for your Mac. However, if you live outside the United States they may not be able to ship it to you, for safety reasons.

While in another region, through different links to OWC through their UK + EU partners

(with stocks in place already for local sales) their prices weren't excessive. Other reseller

sources based in western Europe and global sourced nations.. Click to see:

Another of those links to 'additional reseller' multiple sources:

• High-Performance Workflow Solutions - OWC Digital

https://www.owcdigital.com/reseller/resellers

While these may require research; and some links may fail, too!

We may never know for sure what goes on behind the curtain.

Good luck & happy trails!

Thanks for the added info. Yes, I checked OWC's international shipping -- just as a test as I'm not looking for a battery myself -- and they do ship but the cost is great -- almost doubles the cost for getting the battery. The OP should be able to find a good one with your help😸

P.S. That newertech link is great!
