cool, thanks for the help guys.

As indicated on macintouch.com, there is a batter excahnge program for the MBP. Apple is pretty quiet about the reasons, but says this is not safety related. https://support.appl…

Thanks. I've requested for my new battery.

Spent 30 mins on the phone last Friday trying to convince an Apple rep. that I couldn't fix my battery swelling by resetting the PMU! Glad Apple has finally admitted the problem.

Why can't Apple ever make a battery that they have to recall?

Battery swelling?? In fact my battery has a little 'give' in it. i.e. it can be slightly moved whilst it is in place. I did always that that the battery life was pretty crap. I thi…

Seems the range of batteries affected comes from after May as well My UK machine was purchased mid-June, & has an affected battery. Haven't seen any swelling etc. & the ba…

leezer3, you bought the machine in mid-June but it could be manufactured in May, thus the battery is in the recall range.

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…
