best suggestion....

go to Macsales.com.
there are links to DIY videos for battery replacement.

go to your desired model.. I would have been happy to supply the link.. but 2.1G isn't enough info for the lazy like me... you need the Model Identifier also.

watch the video and decide for yourself if you think it's too daunting for you.
the vids I have used/watched in the past have been pretty good and makes it easy for even a novice to sit down and do.

fortune in your endeavor

Thanks MacNuke.
I was pretty vague with my question. What I really meant was is there anything to look for or avoid when buying a replacement battery?
