Probably because they started using their own batteries....

From what I've heard, sony produces the batteries for the macs, which would explain why there's some trouble with ibooks catching fire.

Hazard: Irregularly positioned wires near the computer’s hinge and/or a dislodged screw inside the hinge can cause a short circuit and overheating. This poses a burn hazard to consumers.

Nope...not a battery this time.
