" Apple has initiated a worldwide battery exchange program for certain rechargeable batteries that were sold for use with 15-inch MacBook Pro computer systems from February 2006 through May 2006.
We recently discovered that some 15-inch MacBook Pro batteries supplied to Apple do not meet our high standards for battery performance. To give our users the best experience possible, we will replace these batteries for customers free of charge.
Note: The affected batteries do not pose a safety risk. You may continue to use your current battery until a replacement arrives.
Identifying your battery
The affected batteries have model number A1175 and a 12-digit serial number that ends with U7SA, U7SB or U7SC. To view the model and serial numbers located on the bottom of the battery, you must remove the battery from the computer. The battery serial number is located above the barcode.

THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH!!! Indeed, my MBP battery was one recalled, but I NEVER got ANY notice from Apple. Today I went into the Apple Store and though at first they INSISTED my MacBookPro Battery was NOT a recall, I showed them this post. Only then did the guy scan MY battery and apologize. Yes, it was recalled and I should have (but certainly did not) get a notification from Apple. A replacement battery should be on the way to me shortly. But I have ONLY this forum to thank. Nothing is on the Apple website and even the Apple Store (at least the one I went to) were in denial. HUMPH!
