Does Apple Care cover battery replacements?

My battery has been having problems, like not holding charge as long as it used to and the battery percentage sometimes freezes. I asked about it before and I was told the battery in my Macbook Pro only goes up to 1000 cycles and I'm at 937, so my battery is seeing its end soon.  I've had this macbook since January 2013. I have been reading the Apple Care information and I can't find where exactly it addresses this issue. Does Apple Care cover battery replacements for cycle counts like this?
PS. I'm learning more that Apple Care doesn't really cover anything. The more I read, the more I feel like I wasted my $250 on it to be honest. I don't see anything Apple Care truly covers unless it's a problem when you first get your laptop that manufacturers did. I'll probably will be moving back to Microsoft after this Macbook goes. Half the price and longer lasting without any protection/insurance.

Since the battery is beyond one year of use, it's doubtful Apple Care will replace the battery for free.
The best way to find out for certain is to contact Apple Care >  Apple - Support - AppleCare

    nope. Maybe your home owner's insurance. Or cellular providers sometimes offer insurance, you'd have been paying a monthly fee for that.

  • Apple care cover battery?

    In what instance does Apple Care would cover a battery?
    My late 2008 MBP's battery is at 288 cycles and on full charge, its only got 34% (1950mAh) health according to iStat widget. In normal usage, it lasts about an hour. Is this battery defected? And whats Apple Care's policy on this?

    You would need to contact Apple in order to get an accurate response. If your machine is still under warranty (in your case, you would have to have the extended AppleCare), Apple will often replace a battery with less than 300 cycles. This is, however, not always the case. Reports of how Apple deals with failing batteries vary greatly from person to person. They are generally considered consumable items. Apple does seem to offer preferential treatment for those with AppleCare however.
    I don't believe that Apple actually guarantees that the batteries will last a specific number of cycles.

    ddoes apple care cover macbook air crack screen

    It is very common knowledge and very clearly stated in the AppleCare agreement that AppleCare does not cover damage from accidents, but only manufacturing defects.

  • New battery...does apple care cover?

    Ok So my battery is running at 38% cap
    after 208 charges
    and is 16 months old.
    Is that average?
    Can I get a new battery through my Apple Care warrenty?
    -Jeff in NYC

    Hi,
    I'm having the same problem with my battery, and from what i've read, it seems our only option is to buy a new one. You should still try to call them, they might exchange it for some specific reasons, which I'm sure they'll tell you about.
    Good luck,
    Dan

  • Does Apple Care cover unintentional water damage?

    Im on vacation in Mexico. I was holding my phone in my hand as most do so and earlier that day it had rained. I was walking near the pool to go back to my hotel room when i slipped and landed in the pool with my phone, My legs are all bruised and scratched and i almost needed stitches. I have apple care but will it cover my water damaged phone?

    AppleCare does not cover liquid damage which would mean you get a replacement as an out of warranty service for a fee. If you have AppleCare+ then you can use one of your 2 incidents to get a replacement for $49.

  • What does Apple Care cover exactly?

    My iPhone 6 Plus has several nicks along the edges, and so does the screen. Would Apple Care (My first free year) cover this, with a set base price I'm assuming?

    No. Cosmetic damage is not covered.

  • Does Apple Care cover ALL of the hardware on the Macbook?

    I noticed that the motherboard isn't included.  Debating whether or not it's even worth it to purchase Apple Care for my next Mac.

    The logic board is covered by Applecare. I, too, would not buy a laptop without warranty because they're very tricky for an amateur to fix if they go wrong.
    However, it's worth noting that Applecare is a guarantee against defects, not accidents.  If your MacBook is damaged in an accident then usually Applecare won't fix it.  It's worth checking to see if your household insurance has accidental damage cover.

  • Does apple care + cover cracked glass?

    I have an iPhone 4S which I dropped on cement and the front glass cracked. I do have apple care +. How much will it cost to have it replaced or repaired?

    You specify the old apple care plan. Is there something different about it now? How would I know if I have the old one? The phone was purchased with apple care + in November 2011 (so just under 2 years ago)
