Getting battery replaced?

[Unprocessed1]

I have a 2009 Macbook Pro, and Apple advertises up to 80% battery capacity up to 1,000 charges. My MBP is down to 75% health after a little more than 500 charges.

Would I have any problem getting Apple to swap the battery out for me free of charge?

Unless you have the AppleCare warranty, they will not replace the battery for free.

Make sure your battery is properly calibrated, so the health indicator is accurate.

It is, and regardless the battery only lasts 1.5 hours with a full charge, so it's clearly lost a lot of capacity.

If that's the case, they should replace it.
