Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Model no. is in system software. Also on the case.
ERD50, thanks for your comments. Somewhere I have the mac model no. but
I assumed if I got the info for the battery assy, that would suffice. The A1185 is the assy that I removed. It kinda looks like this one and the removal/reassy is as portrayed in the video so naked battery is never exposed.

In general, it's really not enough to have the battery part number, you need to know how to put it in the specific model computer you have (just like changing a generic air or oil filter or spark plug in a car can be a very different process, even if it is a say GM part #, it may be used in several very different GM Models).
But from what I see, the battery you are talking about is not internal at all, just use a coin to release the latch, slip out the old, slip in the new, turn the latch to lock, and that's it. A 30 second job, that is probably described in your (electronic) manual for the computer. It's so simple, that may be why the guy you talked to seem confused.
But to see this explicitly for yourself, go to this site, type in your computer model #, then click on 'battery' at that page and you'll get the specifics for your model.

I see a bunch on Amazon ion the $25 range with decent reviews:

https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_...attery&ie=UTF8&qid=1500154384&rnid=1248877011
I'd at least try that before going w/0 a battery, or spending $75.

Was mostly concerned about the Li thing and cheap batteries......tho the Apple store tech didn't seem that concerned about it. That's why the hesitation about getting the cheaper batteries......
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201608Thanks! Good to know....you have to believe before you look......perhaps it's
age of the computer (or the age of the viewer/or both) but I took a look and seemed like nothing was there. Got out my trusty pocket magnifier to read but no go.
Thought I need more light but then discovered if you hold at 43Deg elevation, it is clear as day A1181. Now I know why I got confused w/ some of the Amazon listings which seem to list both the Macbook number and the battery assy number A1185.
I know it's also in the computer software but trying to avoid booting up too frequently now that I don't leave it on all the time..........btw is it ok to leave it plugged in all the time now , now that there is no battery?
How can you identify the number of "cycles" on a used Mac?
