Hi,
Does anyone know if the PB batter is covered by Apple Care? I had my dvi tibook for about 6 months, the battery is showing sign of degradation. When I do a full charge, it usually gives my 3:38 as remaining time - not sure if it is normal. But when it gets to about 1 hour remaining, the battery seems to drain quickly.

Can anyone share their experience on this? The battery cost a fair bit from the apple store....
Thanks

covered...know from experience. it is one of the easiest things to get fixed. they send a new one and sometimes you send back the old one sometimes not. i dont know why they wouldnt want it back all the time. maybe how old it is.

yes.

IMO, that kinda makes a 3-year applecare coverage purchase worth it... if you use your PB alot, and go through several charge/discharging cycles per day, you'll probably need a new battery once a year.
