[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1033006, member: 56379"] Sure the OP's battery could have other issues. It sounds like from their posting that they're simply trying to get a "freebie"...in other words getting a new battery before the Applecare runs out. This is certainly not something the warranty or Applecare covers...otherwise everyone with a laptop would be running to the Apple Store the day before their Applecare or warranty runs out to get their new battery!;) If the OP's battery actually has problems...they certainly should have it looked into. But the OP has had this laptop/battery since June 2007 (closing in on 3 years)...with what sounds like trouble free use...other than that the battery doesn't run the laptop on battery power as long as it used to. Which is what happens with all laptop batteries eventually.:( - Nick [/QUOTE]
