    No mention of whether OP is using the proper charger, or some cheapo job off ebay either.
    For compensation, OP would have to prove some kind of loss, and I can only guess that these shocks aren't that big.

    Well, clearly they weren't fatal. :)

    I wouldn't chase Apple and demand in a confrontational manner.

    Personally, I rather hope the OP does – after driving 75 miles in a car with an 8 litre petrol engine to get to an Apple store. :cool:

    I've experienced this with my MBP.

    Make sure you're using a genuine Apple charge as non-genuine ones can cause this.

    Then make sure the plug you're using is properly earthed.
