Of course they'll replace the batteries, for $79. Free if under warranty or AppleCare+. It's right there on the support page:

For how long depends how long till the designate the model "Vintage/Obsolete". Typically 5 years if their computers/iphones/Beats headphones are anything to go by. You can always try your luck on the third party market after that.

That's surprisingly reasonable for a $550 product with what's probably a custom high-energy-density battery.
