I just noticed the infamous, "Service Battery" warning on my Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. I assume that this means that I need to replace the battery asap. Apple branded batteries run around $130. I'd like to consider a third-party battery, but I want something that is of good quality. What do you recommend?
OWC or Anker (Amazon)
OWC or Anker (Amazon)
Unfortunately, the only brands that I could find on amazon that are compatible with my MacBook are these: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=mac book+battery+MD103LL%2FA&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+battery+MD103LL%2FA
Are you in the USA?
Yes, I am.
Amazon is not the only purveyor of batteries. Look elsewhere.

Nor so: please read this from Finder Help:
Ciao.
Amazon sell Anker batteries, search or buy from OWC
Yep, you're right and here it is–I think: http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Replacement-Battery-Li-Polymer-Warranty/dp/B00D780NN Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458428858&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+macbook+pro+battery+mi d+2012
Thats the one, and the price has dropped since I bought mine a year ago 🙂
Here;s what it looks like after a years useage
Actually, I was wrong. That only fits the 13" model.
Mine is a 15", Model MD103LL/A
Same battery, different size.
I don't think they make one. I need a 78W. This is only 67W.
So, buy it from OWC.
Yes, I do like the OWC branded products, so even though it's about $30 more than a generic it's probably a lot better quality. Thanks for the link.
Best third-party battery?
