There is one, isn't there? Is it replaceable?
My main battery's fucked and if it runs out of charge my MBP just shuts down instead of going to sleep like it used to. The system clock stays the same though so it makes me suspect that isn't the problem.

I need a new main battery too, Iget about 15 mins from a full charge.
25 cycles, 18% health :(

Oh fuck, it's a laptop battery. That's over 1.5 years old. That's a used battery in the first place. That's probably not surprising. Unless you're really careful, about occasionally doing a full drain/recharge cycle 1.5 - 2 years is about it.

mine shuts down, too when battery shows 93% charged.
I called Apple and just received a new battery!
(my MBP was still under warranty though)

Yeah, I think I just need to get one of these:

But does anyone know if there's a way (or any reason) to replace the internal battery?

Ask Applecare how to test it.. Apple has replaced a few of my batteries that died faster than they should, whether in or out of warranty.. (If your current battery was a replacement for the original battery, it will take on the full computer warranty).

HAHAH. dude i just went through the same shit. i tried to be slick and buy another battery on ebay for $50. THIS is what turned out happening:
it fucking expanded and was going to explode! it had expanded so much that i couldn't even press down the trackpad button.
now i don't have a battery in my macbook, because all of the local apple stores are out of them. fuck yea!

PS: cycle your battery at least once a week. guess shit like this happens because you leave it plugged in all the time. i was having the same issues as you were.
