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 ?

There is a plan to add support in gnome-power-manager to detect and
automatically show a warning.
