Apple has a returns programme for MacBook Pro batteries. I’ve already had a battery replacement, but they didn’t ask for the not-working one back. So I’ve put the old one in, and will hopefully have two working MBP batteries. That’ll make the flight I’m trying to book a little more enjoyable. Whether you’ve been suffering from bloating batteries or not, hop on over to Apple and grab your replacement. (Via TUAW)
