MacBook Pro 17" and its Swelling Battery

We keep receiving reports from Intel-based MacBook owners, especially for Mac Book Pro 17". As for the MacBook Pro 15", the reports seems to identify defective series of battery.
Hereafter is a report from Antoine:

I am the system administrator of a research lab and I have been facing the "swelling battery" issue. among 4 MacBook Pro 17" Core Duo ordered, three of them had swelling battery, and should be replaced.
The first sign of the problem that will lead latter on to the swelling syndrome is the random shunt-down of the notebook when running on battery. sometimes, it can also be identified by a lower reactivity of the trackpad, due to the pressure of the swelling battery.

Below is a photo of a swelling battery sent by Valentin.

We do not have enough reports to give all serial numbers potentially affected, but it seems that models ending with UUUS0A are particularly affected. Do not forget that such battery has be to exchanged (for free) and should not be used anymore as they are then potentially dangerous (explosion)
