Working great!
It's impossible to know about the longevity of the battery but it is as described and arrived with a charge of 50% to 60%. I've used for a few weeks now and it's working great.
I was a little apprehensive about changing it out since it really wasn't designed for a DIYer but it really wasn't that hard and took me about an hour while taking my time. I modified some of the instructions I found online about removing the glued in battery by using a heavy gauge fishing line (50# I believe) instead of nylon cord. I believe the fishing line helped cut thru the glue better than nylon cord would. I also wrapped the ends around some short pieces of PVC pipe that I used as handles to prevent the line from cutting into my skin.
I used 91% Isopropyl Alcohol to release the glue and tilted the computer toward the bottom to make sure that the alcohol would not get on any of the electronic components.
I happy with the results I got and wish the same for you.
