| In a proactive measure that will sure make Mac owners happy 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 through May 2006. As this support post says: 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. Note: The affected batteries do not pose a safety risk. You may continue to use your current battery until a replacement arrives. Affected batteries have model number A1175 and a 12-digit serial number that ends with U7SA, U7SB or U7SC. These numbers are located on the bottom of the battery, which means you need to remove the battery from the Mac before checking for them. The battery serial number is located above the bar code This is indeed a good measure. Though Apple could easily have ignored the issue and passed off the complaints as being generic in nature they have instead in good faith chosen to act in a manner befitting their reputation as a premier computer maker. |
