Q: Apple, since this battery doesn't pose a safety risk, why can't I just keep using it as a spare?

If the one I exchanged a while back is any indication, then when they go bad, fifteen minutes max is all they hold, no matter how long one charges them, recharges them, or what not. That's why I took mine in, in the first place...

Besides, IMHO, Apple is not in the business of handing out spare batteries. (g)

Would you consider my waiting a year or two to return the product...

Moot point, given there is no time limit in Apple's offer.

Simply put: exchange it, or not, whatever -- up to you, been warned.

inaflash -

In addition to the points Michal already made, I would add this: Apple is most likely getting a credit from the manufacturer for each replaced battery, and they may have to physically return them to get it.

By the way, they are asking customers to give them a credit card number to secure the return of the old battery.
