Lenovo recalling about 205,000 laptop computer batteries worldwide
Personal computer maker Lenovo has announced that they are now recalling about 205,000 laptop computer batteries worldwide.
These laptop batteries can overheat and can cause fire. This is the second such recall by the company in the past six months.
This also comes at a time when Lenovo is trying hard to catch up with market leaders to become a global giant.
This latest announced recall includes about 100,000 batteries in the United States and another 105,000 worldwide. The batteries have been manufactured by Sanyo (thankfully no Sony this time around).
Lenovo said in a statement that the consumers should stop using the recalled products immediately.
Martin Kariithi of Technology Business Research spoke on this latest recall: “I don’t think at this point it negatively affects the company given last year there was practically an industry wide recall based on the batteries. It’s not likely to have an impact on earnings because the manufacturer pays for the costs of a recall.”

Hi,
Thanks for writing such an interesting article. Its really good to know about the batteries in detail. Seriously do we realize how many things in your house that need batteries? Let’s count it, from the flashlight, cell phone, iPod, cameras, and many more. Knowing it should make us realize on how essential the presence of the batteries in our daily life. However, with that so many kinds of battery, which is generally different between one to another, sometimes we have some difficulties in finding the desired type.
Find the right batteries supplier is not hard if you check out batterystation.co.uk because this website provides the widest selection of batteries and you can choose the right battery based on the categories. You can get the procell batteries which available in several sizes and voltage. You also can find Duracell batteries that divided into duracell plus batteries and duracell ultra batteries. All of the batteries come with cheaper price because this website provides the discount batteries in bulk, wholesale, and retail quantities.
Thanks,
