The AppleCare Protection Plan will also replace any battery that falls below 80% of its original capacity.

Note the Apple One Year Limited Warranty does include coverage for a defective battery, which helps take care of costs. If there’s no Apple Store nearby or you want to find the fastest return possible, take a look at the Authorized Providers in your area and see which offer battery replacement services. Apple also has Authorized Service Providers that are trained to replace built-in batteries properly. They have specialists that will be able to arrange an appointment and get the job done. To replace these batteries, look for a nearby Apple Store and call them to talk about replacing your battery. Bottom line? This is a job best left to the professionals. There’s not even an easy way to reach the battery without taking your MacBook apart. It’s very inadvisable to try to replace these glued-in batteries by yourself. If you have a MacBook Pro that’s the mid-2009 model or newer, your battery is built-in.
