PowerBook G4 Battery Recall

Posted by michael on from the public-service dept.

Beelsebob writes "Apple have put out a recall on a certain group of PowerBook G4 batteries. If you have a PowerBook G4 (Aluminum) 15" and your battery's model number is A1045, and its serial number starts HQ404, HQ405, HQ406, HQ407, or HQ408, then you could be at risk of it overheating."

    "Batteries with the affected serial numbers contain cells that were manufactured by LG Chem, Ltd. of South Korea"

    I wouldn't blame South Korea, it's probably Microsoft planting faulty batteries as revenge for SK suing them:
