Will the data on my MacBook Air be preserved?
In the course of a battery replacement, the data on your hard disk should not be affected. However, Apple and its AASPs are not responsible for any damage to or loss of any applications, data, or other information stored on your MacBook Air. Please make sure you back up your data before submitting your system for service. In general, you should make sure you back up your data on a regular basis to minimize your data loss.

How long will battery replacement service take?
Length of time to complete the repair will depend upon the repair location and availability of service stock. In general, the following replacement times apply:

Apple Retail: Same day repair with an appointment.

Apple Mail-in repair: 3 - 4 business days after shipment of unit to depot.

Apple Authorized Service Provider ("AASP"): Please contact an AASP in your region for specific turnaround times.

Does Apple provide a warranty with my replacement battery?
Apple will provide a warranty against defects on the replacement battery for one year from the date of service. Please note that the battery is a consumable item and after a period of normal use the battery's ability to hold an electrical charge will be diminished. Replacement of a battery which has been consumed via normal use is not covered under warranty.

It's unsure if the new replacement batteries will extend battery life longer than the original battery.
