Battery Expansion
Well the other day I noticed my Macbook pro was 'floating' on my desk and after investigating found out that the battery was expanded. I immediately took it out. This morning I had a appointment scheduled to talk to Apple. Well they called me and hung up on me, I called them and they hung up, and finally this afternoon I called again and finally getting an actual person to listen. It didn't take long for them to tell me it was a lost cause to get an exception for a free battery replacement. I even ended up talking to a "senior manger" who ...quite frankly was a real ***** to me. I was left with the option of buying a new one over the phone or go to the store. I ended up having to purchase one online but it seriously ****** me off that in 2 months I've been screwed over by them twice.
"Its normal with batteries at the end of their lifespan to expand, there is no danger." What kind of BS is that? batteries should never expand in normal use, and the sharp edges and possible leaking aren't considered dangerous?
