How long did it take to recieve your new battery? Apple said it would take 4-6 weeks for mine to arrive I needed a new battery anyway. Mine is over a year old and the battery life is terrible (iStat Pro says the battery health is 30% ) __________________ Sony Clie N760c -> Sony Clie TG-50 -> Treo 600 -> Sony Clie NX80, Fossil wrist PDA-> Sony Clie UX50 -> Sony CLIE VZ90 -> TG50, iPod 5.5 Gen -> Sony CLIE UX50, Sony PEGA-EB40 -> Sony CLIE PEG-TH55/E1, Samsung A900 (Blade) -> HTC Touch -> Palm Pre -> HTC Hero, Apple MacBook -> HTC Evo ->Nexus S 4G, Apple MacBook Pro I like iSpin, it's my favorite launcher!!

Do you think they would have replaced it immediately? __________________ Sony Clie N760c -> Sony Clie TG-50 -> Treo 600 -> Sony Clie NX80, Fossil wrist PDA-> Sony Clie UX50 -> Sony CLIE VZ90 -> TG50, iPod 5.5 Gen -> Sony CLIE UX50, Sony PEGA-EB40 -> Sony CLIE PEG-TH55/E1, Samsung A900 (Blade) -> HTC Touch -> Palm Pre -> HTC Hero, Apple MacBook -> HTC Evo ->Nexus S 4G, Apple MacBook Pro I like iSpin, it's my favorite launcher!!

What's worse, they were initially instructing users to run down their batteries (3-6 hours), take them out , drive to a store and hand them in, then wait 6 weeks for a replacement!! Surprisingly they were getting remarkably few returns... Anyway, our retailer realised the idiocy of that and allowed us register our battery with them online. When the replacement arrived (2-3 weeks) they rang and told us and we picked it up the next day. Easy, although I still would have preferred the post-paid method of Apple in the US. __________________ Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.

Yeah, I do. I wasn't effected on the first one.
