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.


If you make the assumption that it IS a flaw external to the battery
which caused the problem in this particuar case, you'd be right.
On what grounds are you assuming this?

(Hint: the statement "any lithium battery will explode if defective or
improperly charged" does not equate to "the only thing that can
cause the failure of a lithium battery is a bad charger." You DO
see that little word "defective" in the above, which refers to the
battery itself, right?)

These batteries are "intelligent", they have onboard management which is
used to control the charging circuit.
