    Sure, it's intentionally designed that way.

    No, sorry, I had to make a joke - otherwise I'll freak, 'cause now I'll have to add your variation (of a known problem) to my already lenghty list ... :cry:

    Yeah... Sorry, but this is the silliest thread I have seen in a looong time :)

    The battery has one of the rubber feet on it so, naturally, it is going to wobble without it....

    Humor aside & considering that many batteries aren't perfect in size (don't quite understand how this can be, but never the less), I would have preferred to see a shorter, centralized batt. (like the one used by Sony's SZ, TX, ... lines and all four feet attached to the Notebook's base... .
