MacBook Pro battery growing pains

A few days ago I noticed my 9-month-old MacBook Pro seemed to be wobbling slightly while I was typing. Since I use the laptop on my dining table I initially thought I had trapped either a coaster or the power lead underneath. However after a quick investigation I discovered that my battery was bulging out from the bottom of the machine! It might not be that obvious in my blurry photos, but it's the white pouch inside the battery that has expanded and forced the cover upwards.



Given the recent reports of a spectacular MacBook battery failure I decided the prudent course would be to operate the laptop solely on mains power for a while!
