Whenever I plug my laptop into a the power adapter the battery and entire left-hand corner of the unit heats up considerably. This causes no issues with computing, but it concerns me that the battery is degenerating.

Is this a caused by the power adapter (which I replaced at Apple today), a faulty battery (which holds charge fine) or any other issue anyone can think of.

Note: This doesn't seem to occur as often when charging from the older series of power adapters (non-aluminum side mounted dongle).
