    Out of warranty battery replacement cost.

    I have a late 2013 MacBook pro 13 retina and am thinking of replacing its battery and using it as a backup machine. The battery is slightly bulging and has only 75% capacity after about 500 cycles (which is odd, because I thought it was supposed to hold 80% capacity within 1000 cycles). I...
