Uh, that is NOT a safe assumption to make. Unless they specifically 
state that or you paid a hefty price for it, chances are everything in 
it will be OEM. Considering that the battery will cost about $130, it 
might be something you want to verify with them. If it is the OEM 
battery, and you are getting some kind of warranty on it, be sure to 
thoroughly test the battery in the warranty period. Keep a log of how 
much time you are getting on a charge to check for patterns.

If it is not getting full battery life out of the box, there is a 
battery patch on the Apple site that will somethies fix this particular 
battery and is worth a try.
