I'm not looking for a debate. I'm just wondering why a lithium ion battery would not charge in a 5300.


Because Apple says so! The prototype 5300s did have LiOn batteries. Then there was the the event that started the flaming battery rumors. I'm not going to say what happened because I don't know and the story is clear as mud. But something happened and Apple replaced the LiOn with NiMH and redesigned it to not charge LiOn.

Then the 3400 and latter the G3 came out and they do have LiOn. They can charge and use either NiMH or LiOn.

Would those have been the ones associated with reports of fire?

Wasn;t that at a very early time in the development of Li-on cells.

Would anyone have any information as to whether a laptop battery should NOT be rebuilt with Li-on cells?
