It is quite as easy to do as it looks. I've changed three of the things now
(none of them on my machines) and I got the batteries from Mac dealers
because it was simpler that way; the cost wasn't that horrific either. I
don't think that there's anything special about the batteries provided the
voltage is right. The dealers didn't even suggest that they should do the
swap rather than  me... I think Apple are covering their arses just in
case.
