If the company put a decent size battery in there in the first place you wouldn't need to replace it.
Size is irrelevant, batteries have a limited lifespan.
What use is a 1 mAh battery even if it lasts you a decade.
You design a laptop, buy in some batteries,
If done properly you tell the bcompony what size and specs yuo want the battery to be.
You don;t build anyhting themn go out and find a battery which will magically fit it either electrically or mechanically.
Well unless you're a cheap knock out company copying others products.
That won't stop the battery manufacturer making dud ones.
Of course it won't with generic laptop batteries being sold.
If your battery is of a specific type maybe a knockoff supplier won't bother.
Duds occur no matter what.
when you find a dub reject it don't try hiding it inside a phone or laptop.
and the battery company makes a ****up somewhere.
You don;t support such companies.
You don't know which company might make a dodgy batch in the future.
You can go by reputation and that is one reason why Apple seem to do better than certain other companies.
But you pay twice the price for their product.
That depends on the product but so what if you do, I'd rather pay twice the price for something that will last twice or 3 times longer.
Some prefer to pay more for quality.
I believe some Dell laptops did the same.
Only Dell, can't any laptop battery explode ?
I only heard of Dells doing it.
samsugn phone batteries .
They're not laptops.
They are batteries that explode were are apple's exploding batteries ?
Luck.
yeah sure maybe better designed is luck in your world.
So why were the samsung phones withdrawn and apps written to only charge the battery to 60% ?
What has that to do with people choosing to buy Samsung phones?
Why would you buy a phone and limit it's charging capacity to 60% ?
You can't even swap them out.
Whever happened to the great idea of replacable batteries like they had in laptops.
You can swap out anything with a screwdriver and half a clue.
as you can with Apple.
Before any exploded, nobody knew. After some exploded, the ones sold after that would be safe.
But they weren't even those were they reaplced the batteries still exploded.
How many exploded and how many didn't? It's a very small proportion and only ****wit reporters in the media make a big deal about it.
That's down to luck that so few have actually blown up as you said previously.
The more sold the more likely someones luck will run out.
Does the phone in your battery only charge to 60% or do you stop charging just in case it explodes.
I don't worry about the unlikely.
Thats' the way those that use Apple laptops feel about their batteries or rather the life of them, in the unlikely event that they'll fail before the useful life of a laptop.
They're all unlikely to explode, Apple or not. And Apple are just as likely to have dodgy batteries in the future, in fact probably moreso, because Samsung will be being more careful.
But samsung were;nt because theri replacement batteries blew up not only that but
