The past months have seen such computer heavies as Dell, the world’s largest producer of PCs, along with Apple and Lenovo—which bought out IBM’s PC business last year, and therefore makes all IBM machines—recall batteries that contained fuel cells made by Japan’s Sony because they could burst into flames and injure their users.

And the fun may just be getting started…CIO.com is on the story, and we’ll do our part to post all the latest developments.

However, Apple have requested that I returned the battery in exchange for a replacement. I am not aware the reason behind the replacemnet except Apple alleged that the battery was not up to their standard??? I think it would put people’s mind at rest if a better and clearer explanation for the replacement has been given.
