think it would be a big deal if I didn't send it back as requested (for recycling)? I would be nice to have a spare just in case...

Per the documentation that I received with the battery exchange, Apple will charge you $121.11 if you do not return the battery.

My battery also qualified although I hadn't had any problems. I signed up for the exchange anyhow. Thanks for the heads up.

I signed up for the battery exchange wa couple days after it was announced and have already received my battery. I recall it only took 5 days after filling out the form online.
I did not think that there was anything wrong with my original battery, but now that I have the new one, it sure seems that it lasts a lot longer after a full charge!

I've seen the comments that is seems to last longer, I've also seen some claim that their MacBook Pros run cooler. Personally mine runs about 4 to 5*c cooler and the battery lasts 4 hours.
