Q: Air 13" (mid 2012) battery needs replacement after 360 cycles

My Air's (13", mid 2012) battery is asking to be replaced, and indeed in very bad shape (usually lasts no more than 2hrs), only after 360 cycles.

 

Apple states that this battery should endure at least 1000 cycles for this model - Determining battery cycle count for Mac notebooks - Apple Support

 

The official warranty is gone now, but do you think I can still have it replaced under this statement or the replacement would be at my own cost?

 

It's really strange for me how this battery died after only 3 years... Not very common for Apple standards...

 

Thanks!

MacBook Air, iOS 9.2, mid 2012 13" model
