I thought he said he obtained the passwords from some apple update 2 years ago, which means the battery could be "updated" through some portal ,turns out such kind of hacking could be done in software level.
This guy claims he's gonna publish something that could change your MacBooks batteries' password into random strings, which means, your battery can no longer be updated, at least not by Apple. It doesn't seem to be quite a right solution for me... if someone hacked this tool, your MacBook's battery is his slave forever before anybody could crack that very password, which is probably not gonna be achieved easier than reinstall OS + hardisk + battery + etc, or buy a new MacBook.
I doubt that the battery password is needed to rewrite the battery firmware. I also doubt the battery processor is capable of a complex hash, as it is only designed to do basic reports that are allowed to take a second.
