That's a good price for a starter MacBook. It's probably a Core Duo model 1,1 http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/macbook_2.0_black.html so it would be limited to a maximum OS of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The Core Duos can't run 10.7 Lion.


You can get a third party battery for around $27 on eBay

Or for $129 from Apple http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA566LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
