Apple Battery Fix Offered
In recent months some consumers had complained of battery issues with their MacBooks. A few claimed their laptops had caught fire, most just said they were too hot to handle - reaching temperatures unsafe for human laps. Personally, I downloaded the firmware update Apple offers for this and it has worked just fine for my MacBook, but not everyone was convinced that was enough.
Apple has a reputation for listening to its customers and offering viable solutions to problems. The battery problem has been no exception. Apple acknowledged their MacBook battery design had issues today and presented users with a fix. The fix is a simple software update for the battery. Used in tandem with the latest version of firmware for your MacBook, it should solve the hot battery issue for all consumers.
You can grab the battery update from this page.

I don’t think my Apple will catch fire (at least I hope not) but, mine does “run hot”. Last night I checked for Software Updates on my Mac, and the Battery Update was automatically listed. Apple is soooo good to it’s users (even the ones,like me, that have no clue!)
