[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 951062, member: 59143"] The reason I have always personally believed this about the MB battery is because on both my MacBook Pro's (Unibody and 2008 Aluminum) the only part of the casing which gets hot, and I mean hot, not just mildly warm is the area directly above the battery (on the uni) and the battery its self (on the Aluminum). I'd say that leaves a bit of room for speculation. I could see if it was the entire body/casing which got warm, or even the part which holds the magsafe adapter since electricity is always flowing through there. And I'm sorry man, but just 'saying so' isn't enough proof to me that what you say is indefinitely true. Sure, it makes sense and all, given the technology we're dealing with, but there are things which point to other possibilities. I'd still really love to see some documentation about this. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I can't say you're 100% correct, either. Doug Edit: That kind of reminds me of a dialog found in the movie Reservoir Dogs: [/QUOTE]
