Have you fixed the issues with the battery not fitting, overheating and expanding that have been reported by other buyers on here?

My battery fit fine. My old battery used to get so hot that I could not use it on my lap without being nearly burnt. While my laptop still gets hot with this battery, it's not nearly as bad. I can function with it on my lap. Haven't noticed any expanding either. A full charge is getting me about an hour of computing time. All-in-all, the battery improved everything about my old laptop.

I have only experienced the heating issue, which is a design fault with the Mac's...I have not had the expansion/not fitting problem you are asking about. The replacement battery fits just fine and works like new. The heat is the same. I work on a tabletop or with a cutting board on my lap.

Hi, I just bought a battery and had no issues with any problems you mentioned. Sometimes, it may be hard to get the batter out, but a tap on a firm, but soft surface (like your padded seat) will get it out. I get about 2.5 hours out of the battery but, hey, it was $18.

The battery fit just fine. And after the first initial charge it seemed to work fine. Then it all went to hell. Overheated and expanded. Fortunate that it didn't explode or ruin my laptop. It did expand enough that my space bar could not function. So glad Amazon guarantees things or money back.

I bought the replacement almost two years ago and just noticed it had expanded to a dangerous point. I actually haven't used this laptop much in the past month or two, so it could have happened then. I've removed it and am operating on pug only. It always stuck out ever so slightly, but that's what I get for going non-Apple. It required a little extra pressure getting it in. Good to check your warranty and watch out for expanding battery packs. Other than that, worked fine. Never got as much life out of it as I wanted. Life went down to 45 minutes per charge this year from 3 hours, but I also run multiple programs simultaneously.

The battery didn't just pop in but it did fit after using a little more pressure. It has not expanded. The only time it heats up is when the battery reaches a low charge and it recharges quickly.

I have one that I love but haven't had problems. Have you contacted the people you purchased this from? They may be able to help.

Hmm.Nope that doesn't sound right. I bought mine months ago but it was flat like a normal battery should be. I would contact the seller and let them know?

I haven't had any issues. But ironically I'm selling mine do to space issues only if you want a new one at a great price let me know

We have not had this problem. In other devices we have discovered a new battery made the difference despite the old battery checking out good.

it is hard to repair and not worth it. if you can, return it. I have the same problem with the charging battery. I returned. amazon has a good service

I had no problem...try rearranging the battery and wire to get the best fit...

Yes, to both your questions. It is an inexpensive fix, if not send it back.

Yes, I am in the same boat as you are. There was a battery terminal missing on mine in the inside of the battery pack. Called the manufacturer they said take it up with the people you bought it from, and so I did. I'll be returning mine for a full refund. Lots of disappointed people on this one, I'd say. On Christmas, too. Good luck, ya'll. But I'd say yes, there probably was a whole shipment of these that were defective...

It's the battery bloating. Take the battery out and put it on a flat surface, if it rocks it's bloated. I've had 3 of these, all replacements do this after awhile. They need to do some better QC on their products. They said they are now doing a review of the QC on this, and can't send me another replacement, so they are going to just refund me.

wow ..i had the same problem with the battery..it got swollen and case won't close..

I haven't had that problem. Take it to a carrier store and ask them to try a new battery. It may just be a "bad" phone. We've always had a Gravity as far back as when they first came out. Best dumb-phone out there.

The battery works but the back cover does not fit out-of-box. The clip spacings are different. I managed to get the back cover on somewhat securely (meaning, it'll stay on if I don't try to remove it) by shaving some of the clips with a razor.

Overheats? I think P.Doell has the best answer. It is hard to get the battery in correctly, but I've had no problems with heating.

Sorry, I've never had a problem with mine. I think, like Patrick suggests, if you contact the seller they might be able to work something out for you. Good luck!

No I did not have any issues with it. I would use it and see how long the battery lasts
