Details:IBM Recalling Potentially Dangerous Notebook Computer Batteries:
IBM recently announced a battery recall for many of their popular Thinkpad and Lenovo notebook computers purchased within the last 2 years (between February 2005 and February 2007). The recall is for most 9-cell batteries sold between November 2005 and February 2007, and for batteries manufactured by Sony between February 2005 and September 2006. This comes a few months after the recent battery recalls by Apple and Dell.

To see if your Thinkpad/Lenovo notebook computer is affected:
  • Check the serial number as described on IBM.com and call 800-426-7378 for a free replacement, or
  • Download a program, run it on a Thinkpad/Lenovo computer to automatically check your battery's serial number. It also lets you request a free replacement battery online.
Much like the Dell and Apple battery problems last year, some IBM notebook batteries have a risk of exploding.

Considering laptop batteries typically only last 3-4 years before failing, and since replacement batteries usually cost $50 to $120, this could be a hot deal to get you a brand new battery for free which will last another 3-4 years. If your battery is recalled, wait to receive a new battery before sending your old one back.
