[QUOTE="voided3, post: 625256, member: 29663"] Hello, I have a (almost) two year old MBP 2.16ghz Core Duo setup (got it sept. '06) and I have replaced the battery in it about this time last year because the original failed. Now my replacement battery is going south. REALLY far south. It has only 33 cycles on it and the health is about 17%, or 954 out of the original 5500mHa or so. Kind of sad considering that I calibrated it when I first got it and only used it lightly every other week or so on battery power (my MBP is a desk queen). It's not buckling out or oddly hot at all, but my question is can I still get a free replacement or do I need to dish out $80 for a new one, and has anyone else had this happen to theirs? Thanks!
