I just got my new battery too; anyone know if this new battery should be "calibrated" like the original one?

All Laptop batteries should be calibrated. Even cell phones from what I hear...correct me if I am wrong.

I got my new battery (took only 1 day) and don't see a damn bit of difference thus far.

i recieved a battery with damaged edges not being flushed but instead pointing up like if something bent them. i paid 2000+ for this machine to recieve a used damaged battery? wow…

Well, I have mine being shipped to me as we speak...and they did not ask for a credit card...has anyone else had to provide a credit card to get their MBP mattery exchanged?

Personally I've never had to provide a credit card number for a replacement part. On the form attached to the box it states that you'll "be charged" if you fail to return the defec…

I sent my MBP in for the whine fix and they also put a new battery in it even though I had already requested one. So now I've got 2 brand new batteries in my hand. I think I'm goin…

Got my new battery today. I am calibrating it right now as we speak...when fully charged, and I yanked out the power adapter... it said I had 4.25 hours..... much better than my o…

I just bought an iPod Hi-Fi yesterday and I'm amazed by it. I wasn't too crazy about the design at first but it's 100 times better in person. Really looks sharp and it's extremely …

Me too, maybe future versions will allow you to do that.

Yep. You may remember a few weeks ago when I posted about the good customer service experience I had when taking my stained MacBook in to get the plastics replaced. I also report…

Um, please don't take this the wrong way, but if your second MacBook is also staining, are Blackbook owners still "suckers" as your signature line states? Or are you a sucker (for …

Yes, they're still suckers. I'd rather take it in every once in a while (or even leave it stained) than pay a $150 premium for a different color. ;-) No offense taken.
