Nokia to Replace 43 Million Batteries

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-more-burning-phone dept.

mysqlbytes writes "According to a recent post on the BBC's website, Nokia has admitted to a problem in the BL-5C batteries made by Matsushita between December 2005 and November 2006. For some of us, it means longer battery life with a new lease of life and for some of us, no more burnt legs. You can check out the product advisory here."

    You don't need to call anyone. If you had actually read the advisory you may have noticed that "if the battery identification number does not contain 26 characters, it is not subject to this product advisory".
