Unfortunately, I can not find the specific replacement battery for my Macbook Pro Late 2008, and I would like to know if anyone knows where I could find this battery.
Macbook Pro Late 2008 (15inch)
2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
And also any ideas on upgrading processor, memory or graphics card?
Thanks
Gianni

Hi,
This is one of the two brands I recommend, the other being Anker: https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple_laptop/batteries/MacBook_Pro_15_Unibody
The processor cannot be upgraded.
The internal graphics card cannot be upgraded, but it's possible there is an external one, though I very highly doubt it.

Makes no difference. When an additional Discrete graphics processor is provided, it is also soldered to the mainboard. There is no daughter card that can be replaced separately.
Hi tjk,
Thank you for the information.
Also as a student, with not a lot of money I am wondering whether this ebay product is better/worse/same buying for my macbook pro:
Any advice on this. Obviously if I can buy the battery through the website you sent me, I will definitely but just want to know your thoughts.
All I can say is we've seen a lot of third party battery problems here on the forum. I'm sure there are success stories too. I don't remember hearing about an issue with a NuPower or Anker battery. Bottom line, it's up to you if you want to take a gamble on that battery. The writeup certainly sounds good. The 60 day money back guarantee and 1 year warranty are good, IF they actually stand behind it. They also have a very good eBay reputation. I guess if I was going to try a different battery, that sounds like a good option.
Many of the problematic after-market batteries we see reported here were purchased from auction sites.
