I have two batteries for my MacBook Pro and I am really glad that I do because there is nothing worse than running out of juice when you are nowhere near an outlet. I have an iPhone as well so it is important that I treat that battery right. The battery is a lot to replace and it is very hard to do it yourself. Thanks for the advice.

don’t use a laptop on your lap (how’s that for irony)
