No, because batteries are classed as consumables where the rest of the  
hardware is not.

Everyone may or may not be happy to hear that the new MacBooks have  
all now switched to a new type of Li-polymer battery which is rated as  
good for 1000 charge/discharge cycles. Given that Apple plaster this  
number all over their marketing, you can be pretty sure that they'll  
honour a warranty on the battery up to that number.
