Dear all,
It seems Sony has been manufacturing bad batteries for not just
Dell, but Apple as well! The same safety issue is here, that the
batteries will explode during use.
From the Apple Battery Recall site:
The affected batteries were sold worldwide from October 2003
through August 2006 for use with the following notebook computers:
12-inch iBook G4, 12-inch PowerBook G4 and 15-inch PowerBook
G4.
If the first 5 digits of your batterys 12-digit serial number
fall within the noted ranges, please order a replacement battery
immediately.
12-inch iBook G4 (A1061)
ZZ338 - ZZ427
3K429 - 3K611
