15 Inch MacBookPro 2008 Not charging the battery!
Removable battery will not charge. Yes I have purchased a new battery. No it is not the charger. Charger will charge my nephews Mac Book. The Mac Book works fine when you put in a charged battery. But it will not keep a charge. Is there any way to charge the removable battery outside the Mac Book? I just use the Mac Book when I am on the road to check my email or watch Netflix. Apple store tells me it is old very expensive to repair, better off getting a new one. If I get a new one it will be a Windows, not an apple.

Thanks,
Alan

I used one of these in the past for a MacBook that would not charge the battery: http/fastmac.com/ucharge.php
