<<If I can explain the 'glitch' as a non-technical person, the company discovered that the new battery sometimes had serious performance problems (not safety related) if it was stored for lengthy periods without first having been broken-in or if it was left in direct sunlight for lengthy periods.>>

Looks like they encountered two problems - one related to the N-Charge, and the other to the battery. The case of the N-Charge apparently heats up if exposed to direct sunlight for a prolonged period, which could possibly create a thermal problem with some component on the circuit board, or the internal temperature of the N-Charge could exceed the rated level of the battery which is 60 degrees C as I recall. Avoiding exposure to direct sunlight should avoid this, although the interior of a vehicle can also get very hot in some parts of the country.

The glitch which would be more directly attributable to the battery apparently relates to the 'break-in' requirement you refer to, i.e. leaving it in the discharged state for several months. That's what the company reported. According to some unconfirmed reports, this can cause outgassing and swelling of the battery. Apparently this has now been resolved.
