There is another round for battery recall. Toshiba is currently recalling batteries for their model notebooks Satellite A100, Satellite A105 and Tecra A7 notebook PCs. Sony manufactured all all of the batteries used in these notebooks. Based on a warning issued by U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission or CPSC, the batteries in some of these notebook models produced between January and April are very prone to overheating. Almost 1,400 portable computers are involved in the recall. The batteries involved are the lithium-ion types.

Overheating and catching fire of the laptop are some of the hazards that users can face with the mentioned lithium-ion battery. It is advised that all users of the said notebooks should adhere to the warning and should stop using the batteries at once. Users can call up Toshiba for a free replacement battery. To protect yourselves from harm you should go to Toshiba’s Web site and run their Toshiba BatteryCheck utility.
