Apple has announced a global exchange programme for some batteries that were sold in 15 MacBook Pros between February and May this year. Although they do not represent a safety hazard, they do not meet at Apple's high standards for battery performance.

Apple has announced a global exchange programme for some batteries that were sold in 15" MacBook Pros between February and May this year.

Although they do not represent a safety hazard (no exploding laptops here), they do not meet at Apple's "high standards for battery performance".

Affected units carry the part number A1175 and a 12-digit serial number that ends with U7SA, U7SB or U7SC.
