4 How can I be sure this battery is the right one for this laptop?
I’m looking at About This Mac, but all it says MacBookPro (15-inch, Mid 2010), Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7.
It does NOT give me the model number of this laptop, and there appears to be 2 slightly differently priced replacement batteries for (Mid 2009 - Mid 2010), which I cannot see the difference for?
So I really wanted to put the laptop model number into iFixit’s search box to ensure I would be buying the correct part and trying to insert into my olde laptop. How can I be really sure? or am I being far too cautious?

bloody !&&*!!! looking down this page, i see the difference ... it is clearly written, it is battery + tools or w/o ... somehow that wasn’t apparent when looking earlier, but that could just be me ... my apologies for my apparent stupidity, i have been suffering from a lack of sleep for a month, and it seems to be causing me some issues ... RESOLVED!!! thank you
Is this a good question?

@danj the model number of my laptop is A1286, which is amongst the Identifiers in your very helpful link, thanks Dan, so i am guessing that i have got the laptop ID'ed, so now it is just understanding the difference between the two (identical???) batteries ...
