Thanks for the info. Fortunately, my battery isn't within the recall range.

They got me.
Fortunately, the replacement is relatively hassle-free, it seems. fill in a web form and they send a new battery with a pre-paid envelope for the recalled one. We'll see!

My laptop falls outside the recall range too, and Apple no longer makes batteries for my model. But at least I was able to find a good battery from other sources.

That's also good. The aftermarket for Mac stuff isn't too bad, if you're willing to hunt a bit and can live with peripherals that aren't as aesthetically pleasing.

Update: received replacement battery today. Works fine. Old one to be mailed out tomorrow. Happy ending, I suspect.
