Apple Battery Recall

9.6_battery.jpg

If you are a mac user, you probably heard about this. If you are an iBook or Powerbook user, you definitely heard about this. Apple and Dell, among many other manufacturers who have notebook computers with certain types of Sony batteries in them, recently issued a battery recall. The batteries were causing fires in some cases.

Unfortunately I was among the 1.8 million other geeks who participated. The great part about it is that the exchange was made faster than I had expected. I first submitted the form on August 24th, and I got my replacement on September 6th. Apple got off to a slow start with forms that didn’t work and misinformation on their phone lines. But they seem to be rectifying the situation very well.

If you suspect that your computer maybe affected you can check here.
