So do I actually HAVE to send the old one back ??? .... It's given me no problems... having two could come in handy !
OR, perhaps a problem in the internal electronic circuitry (the batteries have a built-in charge indicator and other controlling circuitry.)

I am worried, my model number is 1079 which is on the replacement list, but then my battery serial number does NOT validate on the apple website.
Give Apple a call to verify, cos that's what I did.

Honestly, it takes less than 20 minutes of your time to do the switch, so I say go for it. That way you don't have to worry about any issues a suspect battery might cause.

My GUESS ??? ... an inferior quality of the internal chemical components causeing the battery to get hotter than it should as it discharges ...

Most likely reason is there is some form of casing defect and air in contact with Lithium = heat.
thank you..
and thank you also anyone else who answered my question; im sorry if it seemed like a dumb one after i took physics and chemistry:-\\

Can anyone tell me the usual time needed to have the replacement battery delivered once an order is placed, thanks!
For me it was less than 18 hours between input of info online and having replacement battery in my hand. I live in Dallas, TX. Delivery was via Fed Ex
I don't think this is a new battery....

Did anyone else's replacement battery arrive with a three light charge on it?

Lithium batteries are stored charged for a variety of reasons. If you get a Li battery with no charge be concerned.
