Question 1

can this better be used in a 15inch MacBook Pro Early 2008?
the old battery exploded so I can't get the correct model info

Accepted Answer

That's what I used it for. It's seems to be a bit thicker than the apple one, so it makes the mouse pad weird.

Question 2

Is the shell aluminum or plastic?

Accepted Answer

The battery case is metal and plastic. The visible case of the installed battery looks like the OME original, but the rest of the battery case (hidden when installed) is plastic. The fit is good and I haven't had any problems with the battery life.

Question 3

Will this battery fit my 2008 model MacBook Pro?

Accepted Answer

Jim, can you locate the model of your MBP on the underside (it is
very small) which should be either A1286 for a late 2008 model
and A1260 for an early 2008 model - neither of which are mentioned
in this battery.  Then look for the right battery based on your
model.
