Just where exactly does it suggest that?

Just follow this link:

Please, be serious...

Any lithium battery will explode if defective or improperly charged. No
magic there, no thermodynamics law violation.


Then putting new batteries in the computer won't do any good, will it?
If it's the charger, it built into the computer, not the battery.


Li packs have electronics on board that dictate charge termination (Li
batteries are not "floated").
Changing the battery out will introduce new charge termination electronics.
