Sure you can get away with it sometimes. But if you have an early failure of the new battery you could be SOL. If you don't care about the warranty, go right ahead.

how did you demonstrate it to them? sometimes (most of the times!!) they are stubborn and like doctors, don't use their brain and rely on what computers tell them what to do...
