Bought in March 2015....
Lid would not close flat....thought it was a hinge issue. Opened up the bottom cover, and saw the "balloons".
Took it to the Apple Store..........No slots....walk-ins slots filled. Called Apple thru the iPhone app.
The battery has less than 80 cycles total. They put me on hold and said they would replace the battery for free.
Have to try to get a walk-in at the AppleStore in the morning.
These batteries should not swell with so little use (I keep it on AC power most of the time). I've seen reports of these batteries doing this in various Mac models. The reason I buy Apple is because their support is top-notch and will do things out of warranty (if you are nice).
