Hi all, I am still dragging along my late 2008 unibody MacBook (10 years!!!) and since the SSD upgrade in it, still runs like a champ (errr well still runs good enough). However, the battery has been swelling more and more lately. I encountered this issue years ago, took it in to an Apple store and they replaced it for free. This one has been swelling for a while but is starting to get to the point where I am concerned.
Does anyone think taking it to a mac store still an option or are we way past that? If taking it in to have the battery replaced isn't feasible anymore, are there any trusted third party batteries out there? Should I just pull the battery and run on cord alone (it lives around the coffee table)? I want a new laptop, I really do, just don't see the need if this one still does what I want it to.
Thanks,
Brian
