Apple recalls 28,000 PowerBook batteries | |

Apple this morning launched a voluntary worldwide 15-inch PowerBook G4 battery exchange programme to deal with 28,000 potentially faulty units. An internal short of the batteries can cause them to overheat, posing a fire hazard. The units were made by LG Chem in South Korea. Apple is replacing the batteries at no charge. The company says it has received just four reports of the batteries overheating and that no injuries have been reported, in the interests of customers, however: "Apple urges you to stop using your battery and to order a replacement battery immediately. If you continue to use your battery, do not leave it unattended and check for signs of overheating," the company warns. | ||
