In case you missed it yesterday (we almost did in moving the site to InsanelyMac), Apple has initiated a recall… no, wait… a “worldwide battery exchange program” for the 15" MacBook Pro model.
According to their website,
Apple has initiated a worldwide battery exchange program for certain rechargeable batteries that were sold for use with 15-inch MacBook Pro computer systems from February 2006 through May 2006.
We recently discovered that some 15-inch MacBook Pro batteries supplied to Apple do not meet our high standards for battery performance. To give our users the best experience possible, we will replace these batteries for customers free of charge.
Apple states that all the affected batteries have a model number of A1175 and have serial numbers that end in U7SA, U7SB or U7SC. They estimate that it’ll take around 3 to 5 business days for you to get your – are you ready for it – Apple juice back.
As far as we know this is unrelated to the "silent" recall a few months ago. Hey, at least it's not catching on fire.
