  1. An Aussie bloke (Gareth Lee) had this issue with his Apple battery 2 years ago, he also warned Apple at the time. There was another case in the UK where someone replacing it themselves accidentally punctured the battery by removing the sticky tape on it (it broke part of the plastic casing on removal) and it exploded, in the last months of 2017 and the beginning of 2019 there have been several cases of Apple batteries causing fires in stores and homes. Apple are currently being sued (As of Feb I think) as the cause of an apartment fire that killed 1 person in New Jersey with an iPad battery fire in 2017, I don't know if the investigation placed the source of the fire on the iPad, but suspect they wouldn't have a case otherwise. Lithium Ion batteries are not safe when you do not stop the trickle charge if it is already at 100%, the walls are not correctly made, or the cells too close together. Samsung learned this the hard way and then did one of the most successful recalls (well the second one anyway) in history for both speed and percentage returned. It took them way too long to get there from the initial issues occurring, but their response was pretty damn good compared to Apples 2+ years average. I can personally vouch for 2 instances of battery overheating and expanding in normal use in the laptop, these occurred 2015 & 2016, Apple notified at the time (so 3 & 4 years ago). We get bloody hot in Oz though, so maybe the occurrence is higher here due to thermal runaway? The issue as I see it, is that both Samsung, Apple, and many others continue to use the same battery suppliers who have cut corners in the past and made unsafe batteries. Anyways, just my opinion and experience.
