Allan,

Which contacts did you connect - or does it matter? I don't seem to have 
anything to lose, here, if Apple will not replace the battery under warranty, 
so I am willing to try it...

In the interim, I have found and purchased a slightly used battery from a 
vendor on eBay. If nothing else, I guess I will have a spare battery.
