Another Li-ion laptop battery recall

[Quicken]

In 2006 more than 10 million Sony-manufacturered notebook batteries were recalled -- an error that cost Sony more than $444 million dollars to correct. A completely different hazard condition came to light today, this time from Sanyo.

Today Lenovo has issued a recall on 9-cell lithium-ion batteries. Lenovo insiders stress to DailyTech that this recall is not due to the same conditions as the Sony battery recall from 2006; the batteries are of Sanyo manufacture and the hazard occurs when the battery has undergone considerable abuse.
