MacBook Pro Battery Issues

It seems that there may be a problem with some of early batches of MacBook Pro notebook batteries according to various sources on the net. As detailed in a post on The Apple Core (one of the ZD Net blogs) there is a problem with some of the early batteries produced for the MacBook Pro. Those MacBook Pros with a serial number up to W8608 could potentially be affected.


To check the serial number on your MacBook Pro, remove the battery, and the details on a label inside.....


According to Jason D. O'Grady's post....."Symptoms of a MacBook Pro battery problem include: power level going from a full charge to 90 percent, then immediately off. The battery usually either goes straight to one blinking LED or won't respond at all. Some may experience a significant loss of battery capacity as well."
