I've read several Internet articles about Apple's batteries swelling and some exploding in the laptop computers. Would it be safer to just run it on electricity and not use the battery at all? I only use it at home anyway. Here's the article a friend sent me. http://www.zdnet.com/apple-macbook-battery-exploded-7000023425/
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
It happens, but is not happening to everyone. I plug int othe wall when I can to save using battery cycles, and the charging curuits will prvent overcharging. I still use it on battery down to 40% once a month at least.
As to swelling ... may happen, may not. But seems to be a problem with older batteries instead of current batches.
Use the computer as designed and ignore hysterical nonsense on crap websites. You might get hit by a meteor from the planet Neptune at any moment.
Wow... Whatever you do, do not listen to this guy.
My battery swelled up quickly and burst through the mouse pad. I then started to take the back off to relieve the pressure and it blew right off after just loosening a couple of the screws.
This is a real danger.
Here it is bursting through the mouse pad.
Here is it once the back cover blew off.
mine just did the same thing. Busted right through the track pad on the front.. Went to open the back and the back blew off as soon as I took a few screws out ...WTH??
My battery just exploded as well - fortunately it was sitting battery up and did no damage to the computer. I understand Apple does not replace thee exploded batteries? This computer doesn't get used very often and was not even plugged in.
Did you get any compensation for the exploded battery?
This just happened to my Mac. If I take it to the Apple Store can they repair it??
