Freak problem that just happened - I don't know if you've been following the tech news lately, but recently quality control seems to have been an issue for lithium ion batteries. The battery itself just stopped charging - it reported itself as 80% full all the time, and held no charge at all. I was lucky in that one of the guys in the office had the same model as me, so I just tried his battery to eliminate system board problems.

It's just one of those things - the fact that they replaced it without question even though they thought it was slightly out of warranty is more important for me. Good support trumps most hardware faults in my view (especially for laptops, where most of the parts which go wrong aren't really user-replaceable).
