You saw the same support page I did, if you clicked on the link at least. The title of that page is "Replacing the Battery in your MacBook Pro (2009 models with built-in battery)". In other words, the non-replaceable Li-Poly battery.

It also says "The price of the replacement battery includes installation of your new battery and environmentally responsible disposal of your depleted battery." The prices are $129 (for most computers despite your baseless assertion otherwise) or $179 for those with 17in models. Here is the link again in case you didn't look at it before.

I didn't assume anything.

That page refers to current Macbook models I am under the assumption these new batteries are in soon to be released Macbooks. In any event I read this in the warranty disclaimer and have a HUGE problem with it. Replacement of a battery which has been consumed via normal use is not covered under warranty.

So there is no way to run that battery into the ground via trying to reach the 1000 charge limit within the first year and have them replace it for FREE. They are basically stating normal usage resulting in a drained battery doesn't constitute a warranty replacement.

Unless I am reading that wrong I would be pissed to no end if I owned a macbook and tried running it on batteries until it drained then charging and doing that 1000 times and then trying to get a replacement within a year and then they try to deny me my replacement.
