Exploding notebook batteries ftw

After reading this I’m now sat looking at my MacBook and considering buying a fire extinguisher !

This thread over on the Macrumors forum explains how one unlucky owner had the battery in his MacBook Pro EXPLODE ! Now that’s never a good thing !

I’ve never actually seen one go bad to that extent. It’s quite scary really. Imagine if that was on your knees when it happened !

According to the thread starter, the Apple Store staff were very quick to get the thing sorted out. That’s nice of them.

Hello stranger,

Is that picture of the battery expanding inside the casing? As in it’ll blow up soon or has it already?
