Any new Li-Ion battery today is suspect, due to materials contamination.
Perhaps there's a good case for sticking with old batteries as long
as possible, and subsequently to run the machine off AC mains alone.
Is it problem with a particular lot of batteries sold ? If so, is there any
way to recognise these with the serial number ?
I use a TP - R51, and these days it really scares me to keep it on
my lap-top. I usually would use a wooden board underneath it :(
