The Macbook battery from Futureshop was dead and did not work.

I phrased my last post about the Macbook battery with the words "I hope to" because I had my doubts about buying a battery from Futureshop. And sure enough the battery was dead and did not work in the Macbook. So I returned it. Futureshop are generally good with new technology but batteries have limited shelf life and I suspect they bought this battery almost a year ago from Apple. I have bought both PSP batteries and camcorder batteries from Futureshop with no issues. So this is a first.
