HP laptop batteries recall

After two reports of flaming laptop battery, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Thursday that Hewlett-Packard is voluntarily recalling 70,000 lithium-ion batteries that shipped with several models of its HP and Compaq laptops.
The recall affects nine models of HP Pavilions, nine models of Compaq Presarios, two models of HPs, and one HP Compaq laptop model sold between August 2007 and March 2008. There were two separate reports of batteries that "overheated and ruptured, resulting in flames/fire that caused minor property damage" but no injuries, according to the CPSC report.
HP is instructing consumers who may be part of the recall to remove the battery from their notebook and contact HP to find out if theirs is affected. HP says it will provide a free replacement battery. For more information, see HP's Battery Replacement Program site.
The most recent incident involved 100,000 Sony-made batteries faulted for overheating late last year. HP had sold 32,000 of the affected batteries in its laptops. But that was tiny by comparison to the massive recall caused by Sony batteries in 2006.
I just hope there is increased scrutiny by all concerned over the reliability of the lithium-ion batteries being produced since this began. But you can still use other laptop battery, like:Dell Inspiron 6400 battery(11.1V Capacity: 6600mAh )Toshiba PA3465U-1BRS batteryoriginal(10.8V )Dell Latitude D620 Battery(4400mAh)HP PB995A battery(Voltage: 10.8V Capacity: 8800MAH )HP NC6400 battery(11.1V Capacity: 4400mAh )

Buy cheap brand battery with high quality online

When someone buys a laptop, one of the first accessories a sales person will try and sell them is a second notebook battery. The first thing that the buyer will notice is that for a little laptop battery, it can seem to be extremely expensive and almost not worth the cost to have an extra battery around. But there are alternatives to buying branded laptop batteries, and you can save yourself a ton of money, by buying laptop battery that are a lot less expensive than the name branded laptop batteries, but do the same exact job that the name branded laptop batteries do.
There are many models of the laptop and they all have their own type of laptop battery. So let me say that you wanted to buy a back up laptop battery and you find out that your back laptop battery is one hundred dollars. So you buy it. What you did not know is that your laptop battery is not made by the company that sold you your laptop. It is made by another company that puts the laptop making company’s name on the battery and lets the laptop makers charge whatever they want for that laptop battery. You also didn’t know that the third party manufacturers of your laptop battery have a complete website available for you to input your laptop model and find out which generic battery fits your laptop. Then you find out that the generic battery made by that third party manufacturer is half the price of the battery you bought from the laptop maker.
All the big name computer companies that sell notebook computers do not make the batteries that they sell with their notebooks. Some other company makes the laptop battery and sells the battery for much less from their own website. The notebook makers are counting on the notion that using a laptop battery without their logo on it is using a wrong battery. When you consider the fact that the third party battery and the battery with the notebook maker’s logo on it are probably same then you come to realize that nothing could be further from the truth.
