A serial number doesn't help much - we need the model ID. Open up System Information (or System Profiler if you're using a version of OS X pre-Lion) in /Applications/Utilities/ > Hardware > Model Identifier.

Sometime between Jun 2007 and Feb 2008

EDIT: If you still are running the orginal battery I believe Coconut (Battery Status APP) tells you how old the battery is.

Of course, I know everything . . . I just can't remember it all at once.

The same people who make Coconut Battery also make Coconut ID, which is free.

Download it, run it, then you will know precisely.

Very nice Chas! I recommend "Coconut Battery" all the time...but never noticed this app.

Kind of a "silly" little app...but handy when someone needs it!
