How much swelling for battery replacement?

How much swelling is necessary to be eligible for a battery replacemet?
My battery seems to be swelling a bit, really only a crack for now. The seam beside the test button has opened up, and with the battery installed, you can see it protrude a tiny bit, probably not even 1/16th of an inch.
The battery health seems fine considering the age, and the only odd behaviour I've had is it shutting down around 30%, but that hasn't happened since the battery update/calibration.
Mostly, if this is a symptom of the typical swelling, and indicates a potential problem, I would like to have it taken care of before it becomes a problem, particularly if it is dangerous.

Welcome to the forums. If it is swelling at all, get it replaced. Did you run the Battery Update 1.2?
The symptom you describe is typical of a Li-polymer battery that is getting old. If your battery is not old, then it is likely failing prematurely - some MBPs have this problem independent of swelling. Battery Update 1.2 should reveal is this is he case with your battery.
The swelling is more serious - that indicates a possible failure that could damage your MBP of injure you.

    Please, I want know, How much it cost to replace 3Gs Battery in Egypt ?

    You're welcome.
    FYI:
    A third-party repair shop will be cheaper/quicker. However, going that route voids all warranty/support. But, if you don't have any warranty left, might be a good option. Do your homework...find a shop that knows what they're doing.
    Good luck.

    i got problem with my ip4s lcd..how much it cost to replace it

    Sorry, but replacing the LCD screen is no option for the iPhone 4s. This can only be done with the iPhone models 6 and 5.
    Apple will replace the whole unit if you are paying the service fee for the other models.
    Screen repair service pricing
    Repair and replacement costs depend on your iPhone model and your AppleCare product coverage. Apple will run a diagnostic test to determine whether your iPhone has experienced additional damage. If it has, or if it needs other repairs, you may need to pay an out-of-warranty service fee. Accidental damage isn't covered under the Apple One Year Limited Warranty.

    Out-of-warranty repair service
    If your repair isn’t covered by Apple’s One Year Limited Warranty, AppleCare+, or AppleCare Protection Plan, your iPhone might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. For example, liquid damage isn’t covered by warranty but might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. Some damage isn’t eligible at all, for example if your device has been broken into multiple pieces. See Apple’s Repair Terms and Conditions for complete details.

  • My iPhone 5 is eligable for battery replacement but there is no Apple Stores in my country. Any advices what should I do?

    Hello, I live in Montenegro and I bought used iPhone 5 off ebay few months ago. Phone is sim free but I notice really poor battery life. I have to charge it twice a day! Before 5 I used iPhone 4 and I had to charge every night but I could use the phone all day and I was fine with that. I checked and my iPhone is eligable for battery replacement program but there are no Apple Stores in Montenegro. There is T-Mobile which sells iPhones but I didn't buy mine over there. Is there a way for me to take advantage of this program? Can I get Apple to send me new battery and I will have local repair shops (which are very good) to replace the battery? I am ready to take full responsibility for that. If that is not an option could I visit apple store in US (example) and change my battery there for free, given that it is not bought over there?

    This is how you get Service in your Country
    The iPhone support site has troubleshooting articles to help you solve your iPhone issue on your own. If you have reviewed those articles and still need service for your iPhone, you can contact your carrier.Note: There may be a fee for diagnostic service. Please do not send any accessories with your iPhone because they will not be returned to you.
    However the iPhone could have come from anywhere in the world since you purchased secondhand from eBay
    You are correct T-Mobile will not touch the iPhone .
    If you check the model number in settings>>>general>>>about >>>Model
    if you google that number you will find out where the iPhone originated .If  an EU country then you would be eligible for assistance in any other EU country
    if not then which ever country comes up is the only source of help
    This version of the link above is a European version maybe more relevant

    Mac and Mac models are picky about the RAM the Mac needs to see and use.
    As you have found out, the 1067 speed RAM will not work in your year and model iMac.
    You need the 1333 speed RAM.
    If, you can return the RAM for a refund, do it!
    If not, try online Mac RAM source and seller Crucial memory. They have a table that matches your Mac to the correct and reliable RAM. You may need to contact them to see whether or not they ship to South Africa, though.
    If Crucial dpesn't work out, here's the specs for your year and model iMac that you need to seek out and purchase.
    Maximum Memory
    32 GB (Actual) 16 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    4 - 204-pin PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    Good Luck!
