I don't know anyone that would first be able to pull out the battery and place it on the laptop, close the battery cover and run for the extinguisher without thinking twice about putting said battery back on the laptop it came out of.  If I had a hissing, hot or steaming battery, the last place I would think to put it would be ON the laptop that contains my information.  It would most likely end up in a sink (if one was available), a metal trash can (or a plastic one until I could rush said device outside) or the floor.  That is, if I had time, or the ability to pull it out.  According to my knowledge of different types of batteries, most of them will expand when they get hot.  This might make it extrememly difficult to pull that battery out of the laptop in the first place.  If the user was truly distressed to try to take the battery out, why would they place the battery back on the device they were trying to "save" by removing the battery???  Ugh!  Something about this doesn't sit well with me...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andir3.0]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 20th 2006 9:19PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
