Apple is offering to replace MacBook and MacBook Pro batteries if performance problems are still experienced after installing the battery update.
If your MacBook or MacBook Pro battery life hasn’t improved after using the update you should take your notebook to the Genius Bas at a local Apple Store or you can arrange replacement through an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can also contact Apple Support to see what other options are available to you if either is inconvenient.
Only MacBook and MacBook Pro notebooks purchased between Feb 2006 and April 200y7 are eligible for battery replacement and the computer will have to have one or more of the following problems:
* Battery is not recognized causing an “X” to appear in the battery icon in the Finder menu bar.
* Battery will not charge when computer is plugged into AC power.
* Battery exhibits low charge capacity/runtime when using a fully charged battery with a battery cycle count (as shown in System Profiler) of less than 300.
* Battery pack is visibly deformed.

my computer had fallen off of my desk and now it will not work unless it is plugged into the charger. I was wondering how much it might cost me to get a new battery for a macbook pro computer

my battery showed black X, not recognized etc.
purchased in apple store San Francisco on 16 Feb. 2007.
contacted applecareand got the reply: your laptop is not eligeble for battery replacement because apple determined that there are no problems with this serial number.
so apple showed their real face: they just want your money!
