I think that there is more going on than that.  I think that for one 
thing that the service part numbers/model numbers are different than 
the original part numbers/model.  Also, I am not sure that the 
voltages listed in the referenced document are correct. Or maybe the 
batteries are marked wrong.

For example, the original battery that came in my Ti800/DVI is Model 
M8511, Part number 825-5588-A and is clearly marked 14.4V.  According 
to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=16168 , the gigabit 
ethernet and DVI models should be 16.6V.  Maybe Apple shipped me the 
wrong battery, but it seems to work.

I Hope this is true also.  On the day of the announcement, I found 
something on Apple's site implying that they were different.  Now I 
can't find it, so maybe we are OK.
