My battery (probably the same as the one MDD sells) weighs 15.1oz.

Hi,
It looks like the Mini 9 + the battery is about 3 lbs (sorry, my scale isn't that accurate). With regards to the other question, I don't have any blinking lights. I'm not sure how accurately OSX is measuring the battery life- with 96% of the life left, I'm getting a reading of about 8 hours left (hey, I guess I shouldn't complain. This is certainly better than what I got before).

I ordered one pretty much immediately after seeing this (<3 MDD!), and downgraded to A04 with no issues with a nifty little boot tool from this forum. Should get the battery early next week, and then I'll see. Looking forward to it!

You should totally be a bro and tell if it has any blinking light problems. I want to get one of these, but I got a battery today that was supposed to work, but it doesn't.

There's no blinking light problem with this battery. Running A04 on a Mini9.

What, in practical terms, do the 'recognition and charging errors' while using A05 mean? Can you still use the battery with difficulty or does it become totally unusable?

So has anyone gotten one of these for their A90's? I'm interested in one, but concerned about the BIOS issue. NOTE: The A90 BIOS is not the same as the Mini's, so I'm wondering whether this would be a good purchase or not.
