Mac Replacement Batteries?

[exxxlonghair]

Have any of you guys had any luck with aftermarket replacement batteries for an older MacbookPro?
The battery in my 08 model MacbookPro is going for the 3rd time and I'm getting real f'ing tired of paying $129 for a new crappy battery. This last time I followed the recommendations on conditioning the battery and I swear it shortened the lifespan. I've seen some on OWC for $99- not much of a savings- but I have had good luck ordering other things from them. I've also seen some on Amazon for like $30 but of course the reviews on those suck. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I recently picked up a new battery for my 08 ibook from Amazon and have had no complaints as of yet. And by new I mean it's a new aftermarket battery I got for about $40 with shipping.

3 Batteries on an '08? Have you had it out with Apple yet? Is there a known issue? I ask because my wife's '06 MacBook Black battery just crapped out and there was a known issue with this models battery. I haven't brought it in yet but at one time Apple was replacing for free.
