I have had my macbook pro since June 2006. Obviously I have Apple Care which covers the computer till June 2009. Six months ago I began to notice my battery life had gone down from around 2 hours to really rubbish. I timed really rubbish last night - 6 minutes, from fully charged to complete switch off, no warnings no nothing.
At Christmas I took it in to the Genius Bar and they said the battery wasn't covered under AppleCare but they could send the machine away for 7-10 days to get the problem looked at. I can't afford 48 hours without my only computer let alone 7+ days.
I read that people have done this, and I can not afford £99 ($195) for a new battery.
How do I get a new free battery for this computer?
