But I guess if blathering on about "apple crap" and "ijunk" like some 12 year troll makes you feel clever, knock yourself out.

Like it or not, I call it like I see it. So many people are blinded by china crap, but they're the first ones to ***** when it blows up on them. Dollars trump doing a little homework even in a bad economy I guess. I'm also NOT the one calling another poster names either.

I'm having a little problem understanding your post. Are you saying that you STRUCK the battery with an object?? That wasn't wise, since lithium-ion batteries contain caustic chemical compounds which will burn the skin and clothing! If your battery got too hot to touch for any reason, the SAFEST thing you can do is drop it into a box of baking soda with a towel to protect your hand. IF it were to burst or short, the baking soda would prevent a fire.
