Mac Battery:
AppleCare+ is not validated out-of-the-box. The One-Year Limited Warranty covering manufacturing defects and 90 days of phone support is what you are referring to, here.
Making a Store Appointment:
Set up a Genius Bar Appointment at your local Apple Store. There, it will be diagnosed, and you'll be provided with your options. IMPORTANT: Be certain to bring along a proof of purchase (i.e. sale receipt or original packaging) and the MacBook Air, itself.
