FastMac To Release MacBook Replacement Battery

A while back, we were asked in one of the Ask TUAW columns about a replacement battery for the MacBook. While there were options for the MacBook Pro, until now nothing was available for the MacBook. But now FastMac has announced TruePower models for both the Black and White MacBooks. FastMac claims "up to 5% more capacity" and the batteries feature "sensors in the integrated circuit inside the battery that detect undesirable levels of swelling and/ or a short circuit [and] will power off the battery in certain extreme conditions."

These replacement batteries are due to ship "in 30 days" for $99.95 (versus $129.00 for the official model from Apple).
