How long to recive your replacement battery

I was wondering how long it is taking everyone to recieve their replacement batteries in the recall. I got the confirmation email that said up to 4-6 weeks, but I was curious if it was really taking most people this long?
Has anyone already received their battery replacement?
(Not apple bashing here. Yeah, it ***** my battery is defective, but I completely understand it is not Apple's fault.)
Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

On August 24 I requested one 15" PB G4 battery replacement and two 12" PB
battery replacements. Received two e-mail confirmations from Apple.
Within about three weeks I did receive the 15" PB replacement battery.
The two 12" PB replacements have never showed.
It would be nice if Apple could put up an announcement giving some indication when these batteries will ship.
BTW, I've continued using the bad batteries because I don't have another option. So far their behavior is 100% normal.

  • How long should a new replacement battery last on a Macbook 13 inch 2008?

    It's in the the title I guess. I have a 13 inch Black MacBook from 2008. My Battery was still giving me nearly two hours and the cycles was well into the 900s. I'm OCD about taking care of it. So what should I expect out of this new battery? The same performance? When I first got this Macbook it could nearly get me through a whole 7 hour school day on one charge. I don't need that anymore but I would appreciate some where close for the money I paid for the new battery.

    The new battery should behave very much like an original battery...that said, every battery behaves a little differently so be flexible in what you see.  If it lasts much less time, then have it tested.  But overall, should be reasonably close to the same behavior.

  • HT3053 How long should I charged new battery in MacBook pro?

    How long should I charged new battery in MacBook pro?

    You can leave it plugged in all the time if you wish.
    Once your Macbook is fully charged, it stops charging.
    You can see this if you click on your apple logo, about this mac, more info, system report, power.
    In any event, it is also a good idea to use your Macbook under it's own power to keep the battery in optimal condition.
    As much as possible, try not to fully discharge your battery.  It could do more harm than good to your Macbook.
    Good luck and enjoy your macbook

  • How long should I expect my battery to last

    How long should I expect my battery to last. It's about a year old.

    Here's ehat i responded to another  forum trooper:
    Ok here aremy recommendations for your consideration:
    Goto the “apple “on your top menu bar. Click 1stoption (About this Mac) a small screen will appear
    andclick on “More Info...which will take to a large another smallscreen with Mac Book Pro in huge
    letterslike this: MacBookPro.
    Nextgo the “Systems Report” button: press.
    NextUnder “Hardware” on the left you'll see “Power” click that.Volia the battery info
    Nowlets do an analysis of the info: here's mine a 2 mo. Old 17” MBP:
    ModelInformation:
      SerialNumber:     ****************** (not shown by me)
      Manufacturer:     DP
      DeviceName:     ******************(not shown by me)
      PackLot Code:     0
      PCBLot Code:     0
      FirmwareVersion:     406
      HardwareRevision:     1
      CellRevision:     1102
      ChargeInformation:
      ChargeRemaining (mAh):     7806
      FullyCharged:     No
      Charging:     Yes
      FullCharge Capacity (mAh):     8488
      HealthInformation:
      CycleCount:     17
      Condition:     Normal
      BatteryInstalled:     Yes
      Amperage(mA):     2131
      Voltage(mV):     12534
    OK under“Charge Information” you see my MBP currently at 7806mAh (mstands Milli 
    which is 10 tothe -3 power) which translates to 7.806 Amp hours in non-techiespeak. As you see on mine Full Charge Capacity is 8.488 Amp hours.
    Ok under healthyou see my cycle count is 17. Your very low cycle countreflects that you are not “conditioning” your battery by runningit on battery till 5 minute warning or going to sleep and then fullyrecharging it! You've had it ~18 mo. And your dooming yourbattery to a short life. Condition your battery for a long life.
    Please notethis is a super battery 2.131 Amps @ 12.534Volts which Apple says will last approximately 7 hours. Real world experience is significantly less with Lion OS installed.

  • HT5873 how long can a macbook pro battery last?

    how long can a macbook pro battery last?

    Depends on your particular model of MBP. It depends on the context, too. Do you mean hours of usage or do you mean life of the battery?

  • How Long Does the iMac's Battery Last

    Hi. How long will the iMac's battery last if you use it 8 hours (how about for 16 hours) a day and shut it down when you go to bed.
    Thank you in advance.
    Gbu.

    As long as you leave the machine plugged into a live power source, even when it has been turned off it will still draw a bit of power to maintain PRAM and the clock chip, and will not use the battery.
    The battery is used only when there is no othe source of power available. And, it is not recharged in the iMac.

  • How long iPad 2 3G WiFi battery can last exactly?

    How long iPad 2 3G WiFi battery can last exactly?

    I'm not sure whether or not you're asking directly about a Wifi battery but, if you are ... there isn't one.
    If you're asking how long the battery will last, exactly, when using wifi .... no one can possibly tell you that. However, the performance specs put out by Apple say that you should get a nominal 10 hours of use in 'normal' use, and normal for most people would mean wifi ON in Settings and probably connected through most of the day.

  • How do I know which replacement battery to buy?

    Although my battery has only 120 charge cycles, it only works for a few minutes before the computer suddenly shuts down. Apple won't give me a new battery, so I need to buy a new one. The person at customer service couldn't even tell me which exact battery to order for my computer though... sigh.
    I have a 15" MacBook Pro, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.5 GHz, Model Number A1260.
    Is this the correct battery for my machine? Thanks!

    A few places...
    1.) The URL supplied by the above poster (thank you)
    2.) http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html (under the part where it says battery lifespan)
    3.) My various training via Apple certifications and during my employment with Apple
    Now, none of those public facing links explicitly use the word "defective." This is where it gets into translation and understanding:
    +Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. You can extend your replacement coverage for a defective battery to three years from the date of your notebook purchase with the AppleCare Protection Plan. However, the AppleCare Protection Plan for notebook computers _does not cover batteries that have failed or are exhibiting diminished capacity_ except when the failure or diminished capacity is the result of a manufacturing defect.+
    How does an AppleCare phone agent evaluate a battery in consideration for defective versus depleted? Prior to the tool, there was no easy way to do that. Sure, a 2+ year old machine with 6 cycles is obvious but I've had batteries replaced that were 30+ months old with less than 20 cycles replaced without batting an eye.
    Even via clarification (prior to working for Apple), until recently where Apply deployed battery diagnostics the cut off was always 300 until the new, non-removable batteries were introduced.
    Apple's policy, reiterated by numerous sources (see above) was that a battery with less than 300 cycles that did not have 80% of it's original capacity could be considered defective and eligible for replacement. Are there exceptions to that rule, sure... there are to any with Apple. Now with the tool that's deployed at stores and service providers they have the ability to determine if the battery is actually considered to be depleted (not defective) but that's relatively new feature.
    I've had ~40 some odd batteries replaced by Apple in the past 7 years that had less than 300 cycles, less than 80% charge capacity and under AppleCare. In every instance the replacement process was hassle free, immediate and unquestioned. It wasn't until about ~10 months ago where the diagnostic came into the equation.

  • How long will a Product replacement pending repair take?

    My Ipod doesn´t work and the stuatus is "Product replacement pending".
    How long will it take to get the new one?

    If you have sent this iPod away in a country that celebrates Christmas and New Year (such as the UK), then it may take a bit longer as the staff there will have had the same holiday as you. (Okay, slightly less if you are on holiday from school.)

  • How to know if your internal battery has died

    How do you know if your internal battery has died without pulling it out of the computer and with out a battery tester?

    Hi, REMeeks -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    One way to do that is to make sure the date and time are correct, then shut the machine down and unplug it. Wait about an hour, then plug it in and start it up again. Check the date and time - if they are still correct, the battery is probably still good enough.
    Unplugging the machine is important - even when the machine is turned off, if it is still plugged into live power it will draw a bit of current in order to maintain PRAM and the clock chip. By unplugging it you force it to use the battery; if that is too weak, the date and time will revert to original default.
