What are considered "third-party" batteries? Where can I find those?
Third-party batts are any that Apple does not make. You can often find them on Amazon, mac reseller sites, etc. For instance, OWC has a line of high-capacity batteries for G3 and G4 laptops, but unfortunately not for MBs and MBPs. (I'm guessing due to patent regulations.) Google "macbook pro battery" and you should see a selection of 3rd party batts. Barring the absence of the OWC batt here, I'd be inclined to buy the Apple battery on this one.
