battery exploded on my daughters macbook pro

did any one had this in his MacBook ever? my daughter was using her MacBook pro (2010 model) and during which the battery exploded. I had many apple products including laptops, ipads, Iphones but never I experienced such a thing. I want to know if this is a one time thing or others experienced this before?

Hi,


Yes, I've heard of a number of batteries here that have expanded/bulged to the point of cracking open the battery. I've never heard of one exploding, as in a loud band and smoke and fire. Is that what actually happened to your battery?


In any case, the chemical inside are dangerous, so after it has finished exploding/smoldering/the fire is out, enclose it in something so the chemicals cannot get out. Then bring it to a facility which disposes of lithium ion batteries. Apple might: https://support.apple.com/contact. Please, do not just throw it in the garbage.
