    Question Late 2008 Unibody Macbook 13.3" Replacement / Uprated Battery?

    Hi guys,
    just wondering which battery I need for my old 2008 late macbook, it's a 13.3" 2.4ghz Core2Duo with a Nvidia 9400m. Is there any uprated batteries I can get with longer battery life, this would be awesome if so. Please advice accordingly.
    UK links please

    Good riddance. Wish I'd done it about a year ago.

    Ifixit should have a teardown of the laptop and show you which battery it is - I believe they have a European store now too!

    no worries mate I'll have a look now!
    EDIT: can anyone confirm this is correct?

    EDIT2: This looks like my one with the connector embedded in it without a wire hanging like the first...
