I’m hoping that there is someone out there reading who is a bit more knowlegable on this matter than me.  Question being, exactly how hard is it to design and produce a notebook battery that you don’t have to recall?

Apple is constantly recalling batteries from previous generation laptops, with the FCC just clearing the 15″ Macbook Pro batteries today.  Dell is constantly recalling batteries and reports of one burning down a guy’s house circulated the net a few days back.

So, how hard is it to build a battery that doesn’t explode?  Just food for thought.
