Sony gives in and issues global battery recall
September 29th, 2006
Sony has done what I've been expecting it to do for a few weeks now - it has issued a global recall of all lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries used in notebooks.
Withe the Dell, Toshiba, Apple and Lenovo recall Sony was looking at replacing around 7 million batteries. This recall is bound to dramatically increase that number. This means that if you have a notebook that contains a Sony battery (and that's not something that's easy to spot) then you need to be on the lookout for a recall. I'll post all the information that I find - if you find anything, feel free to drop me a note.
This is going to mean laptop troubles for a lot of people. Bad news all round.
