Question

Mine's officially dead now, too

Add me to the "My MBP battery bit the dust" list. It hasn't bulged (yet?) but now lists a MAXIMUM battery life of 138 mAh (normal is 5500ish). Sweet life. To the apple store i go....

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I received mine shortly after the initial shipments. The serial number on my battery indicates week 7, which seems to fall in line with when others have been failing.

Follow-up:

Went to the Apple Store today in Durham, NC. Took a look at my system profiler that said Max=138mAh and replaced my battery no questions asked. Even had the battery in stock.

Im quite pleased.

glad to hear that they took care of you. I had to return my week 23 unit due to a faulty airport card and Apple replaced it no questions asked. I now have a week 27, going on 3 days now. So far so good!
