[QUOTE="techiesteve, post: 1552534, member: 98520"] Yes, the older MacBook batteries are still available, but pretty soon the last of the earlier MacBooks will be declared vintage and all spares withdrawn. I've seen a few swollen MacBook batteries, but the quantity is minute compared to those that fail for other reasons or are consumed. Swollen/split batteries were/are very common on the non unibody 17" MacBook Pro, and Apple did have a time limited program covering their free replacement, but that has long expired. There has never been a program covering the MacBook batteries as there has never been a significant issue with them. For the OP, I would be extremely surprised if Apple replace your battery FOC.
