Battery warranty issue help

[cjddrum1]

Hey guys,

Okay so my warranty for my battery expired 2 days ago (I didnt know)..so I take it in today because the battery is basically dead only to find out im going to have to pay 116.00 for a new battery

anyway, I was just wondering if anyone knew of any e-mail or service line maybe where I could speak with someone a bit higher up at apple and explain my situation. I just got back from college and there are no apple stores up where I am so this was my only time to take it....

any help is appreciated

How many cycles do you have on your battery?

Would http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/ apply to you?

^no I think the genius checked and said it didnt

I have 247 cycles and 55% battery capacity (3035 mAH of 5500 mAH)

they are sending me out a new battery...I called them up and they were very helpful. This is why I am a loyal apple customer
