Well, there are always defects in the manufacturing process... Cars have been around for almost 100 years and there are still recalls for faulty ignition switches and stuff like that...

I'm disappointed. You think we would be technologically advanced enough to make a battery that won't explode. It's not like laptops just came out in the past year.

Anyways, thanks if anyone knows where to look that up, because I couldn't find it on apple's site.

If your battery feels warmer than the machine itself, then you'd have to worry. Otherwise, an overheating laptop (although bad), is not indicative that you have a faulty battery.

This time they're blowing up Apple laptops via crappy batteries. Way to go Sony!
