[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1415636, member: 56379"] The more important model info would be whether it has a "user replaceable battery"...or the technically (found on newer models) "non-user replaceable battery". Applecare covers manufacturing defects only. Following the strict warranty details...the battery is a "consumable"...and not covered under Applecare...UNLESS...it can be shown that a manufacturing defect exists. Not to say folks haven't been lucky to get a new battery (during the Applecare coverage period)...I have been a lucky person myself in that respect.:) But someone SHOULD NOT expect a free replacement battery with Applecare (without a manufacturing defect). - Nick [/QUOTE]
