Anyone have a dead or dying battery compatible with the most recent 15" MBP. I'm looking to make a dummy so i don't have to keep the battery charging all the time. I can swap out the live battery for the dummy when i'm at home and constantly connected to power.
yea... I need one for my MacBook as well. The one I have is shot. It stays in sleep mode for 1 day tops on a full charge... Strangely enough though, after a full charge, I can get a good 3 hours. The sleep mode, is what perplexes me about it.

My brother's MacBook has been running without a functioning battery for the last year or so ever since he knocked his fishbowl onto the computer - nothing worked at all until I opened it and cleaned all the boards and contacts. The computer started up fine afterwards, but has never recognized the battery.
You don't have to have the battery in the slot to power the computer; all you need is the power supply. I take mine out from time to time in order to let it drain.

why don`t you go to ebay and find,maybe there is oppotunity.
You might want to check out this story http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=2548 - apparently on the latest MBP if you run it with battery removed it runs at reduced speed. So you might want to keep the battery in the unit all the time.
