MacBook Service Battery Warning
We went to go check the battery level in a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook last week and instead of getting a number between 0-100%, we got a “Service Battery” warning.
Feeling slightly unnerved, we took the battery out of the MacBook Thursday night and let it on a table in the office. Turned out to be a really good idea. Look what we found this morning… The battery packs inside basically expanded to the edge of exploding. Yikes!
You can see more photos of the bloated battery of goo in the MethodShop.com Flickr photostream and read about some of the other signs that your MacBook battery is dying here.
Has This Happened To You Before?
Guess it’s time to get a new battery. Has anyone else ever seen this before? We dare someone to bring this battery to an Apple Store Genius Bar and try to make them fix it. Any takers?
