Now that you mention it, I've probably seen a couple of 'bricked' laptop batteries. At the time I didn't realize that was an issue inherent in the technology, but looking back that's probably what killed those batteries.
Well at least this whole saga has taught me more about Li-ION batteries. I feel like this information is something that should be more generally known amongst the population, not just for cars but for all the products we use with Li-ION.
Every rechargeable device I've ever owned has had various warnings in its documentation about battery care. If you've never read the manual, that is 100% your fault. No one can force you not to be stupid, it's up to you.
