Macbook Pro Battery Replacement

[hypertc13]

Alright, so i have a late 2006 macbook pro, i replaced the battery about a year ago and now this battery has 238 cycles, and it only has 55% of its capacity and also says to service battery. Any chance apple will replace it?

They should, since it's under 80% after less than 300 cycles

is that their rule, even if my applecare is expired?

I believe that is their standard battery policy, regardless of applecare

No, your battery is not under AppleCare, so they have no obligation to replace it. Defective batteries are only covered under your MBP's warranty or your MBP's AppleCare. Once those expire, new batteries are not covered. If you take it to the Apple Store and ask nicely, you may find someone who will make an exception, but they're not required to do so.

This should answer most, if not all, of your battery questions:
