I've had my battery replaced a couple times but luckily I had applecare so it was free.
I'm going to need a new Mac soon though.

I swear I will never understand peoples thought process when they want a new battery for their computer. If your battery in your TV remote died, would you call the TV manufacturer for a free new battery? A computer battery is no different.
I've had an old battery replaced by Apple. *shrug*

How is that a poor analogy? Up until recently, you could go to an Apple Store, eBay, amazon.com, anywhere that sold apple products, buy a battery and install it yourself. Even with the unibody designed ones, you go into any store or authorized service provider, pay for a battery, and walk out with your new battery in your macbook.
The point is, no matter what it is, whether a computer, remote, or your damn car, batteries die, and you dont go whining to the manufacturer for a free new one unless its actually defective.

Who are you to say what people do or don't do? Clearly people do go "whining" to the manufacturer if they choose to. That's exactly why certain manufacturers offer this service, if your car battery dies while still under the warranty and your dealer offers this service than most people would do this. A remote battery is worth approximately 1 dollar, driving to the nearest Duracell factory wouldn't be convenient. So again, your analogy sucks.
