Heh, well....please read the 339 incidents KNOWN....often, many go unreported....not to mention how many were avoided because of the recall...
And what care and maintenance or safety stuff is a consumer supposed to do with a laptop battery? They don't have dischargers or equalizing trays.
And the failures according to all the reports I read, had NOTHING to do with the consumer. It was multiple errors in the production process....the battery would of failed regardless of care or maintenance. A local lady at the apple store I shop at, had hers fail and burn her couch 24 hours after purchase...must been bad care and maintenance in those 24 hours that caused it.
I think what people are trying to point out, is there are saftey concerns with lithium based tech regardless of which version you are using......they are a completely different animal that the NIMH or NICD counterparts.....
