serious defect in my IBM Thinkpad X31?
When the X31 is docked, the internal battery sits right where it gets very hot.

LiIon batteries don't do well with heat. I have encountered a serious degradation in batter performance already, and I haven't owned this baby perhaps 6 months.

Anyone else have this issue? I am thinking about how to approach IBM about it. The auxiliary batter does not suffer this problem as it does not work when you have the laptop docked, only when the laptop is not docked.
