Another Battery Recall!!!!
This time it is the turn of Panasonic to recall laptop batteries. Matsushita, maker of Panasonic products issued the recall for 6,000 Lithium ion laptop batteries over fears of overheating. This affects Panasonic Let’s Note CF-W4G laptops sold in Japan.
The problem, unlike the faulty Sony cells in Dell's and Apple's laptop batteries, is a small defective spring. A drop or sudden jarring movement may cause the spring to fall onto the cells and cause overheating. The spring is part of the latch, which holds the battery in place.
