If you're still unsure of this, here's what I see. If you compare the replacement batteries that iFixIt offers for the A1342 13" Unibody MacBooks with the A1278 13" MacBook Pros, you'll see that each has a different Apple Part Number and Product Code. It also appears that they each have their own distinct design that would make them incompatible with other models. So to answer your question, I'm fairly certain that they are not the same batteries and would not work in models other than those that they were intended to be in. Hope this helps!

Which 13" MacBook Pro?

Yes. I can second this. The battery connector for the a1278 MacBook Pro (2009-2011) and the a1342 Polycarbonate MacBook (2009-2010) are the same. In fact, you can power an 1342 MacBook with an a1278 battery. However, the battery from an 1278 MacBook will not physically fit in an 1342 MacBook.
