MacBook Pro Battery: Time for Warranty Replacement

A brief article on digg.com shows pictures of a MacBook Pro 15" laptop's battery swollen to incredible proportions even when disconnected from power.

If you have an original MacBook Pro with the Intel Core Duo processor, check with Apple about its battery exchange program for these units.

If you have any comments, feedback or have seen swelling to this extent, please let us know.

I have a first gen 17" MacBook Pro and the same thing happened to my battery 2 weeks ago. I was using my MacBook Pro, went to take a shower. When I came back I noticed my MacBook Pro leaning to the side. When I picked it up my batter was swollen. I removed the battery and took the laptop and battery to the Apple store. By the time I got the store it was even bigger. They replaced my battery at the store no questions asked.
