I used my iBookG3 from 2001 until late last year when the battery finally died. I now use the new MacBook and I plan to keep it for another five to seven years.
Apple stands by their products. the motherboard on my iBook died years after the warranty period expired and they still replaced it for free. I have little doubt that if your battery fails prematurely Apple will take care of it with no cost to you.
