Nokia Battery Recall Could Affect 46 Million Phones

Posted by Susan Hall Aug 14, 2007 10:28:14 AM

Nokia has ordered a recall of its BL-5C battery, which it says could explode. The recall could affect as many as 46 million phones, reports ZDNet, which provides detailed information on how to determine if your phone is affected.

 

The batteries, manufactured by Matsushita between December 2005 and November 2006, are one model of 14 that Nokia uses in 50 different phones. More than 250 million BL-5C batteries made for Nokia by other manufacturers are not affected. However, it reported 100 cases in which the batteries overheated while being recharged, according to Times Online.

 

And there's more: BBC News reports that  "some batteries" in MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops have "performance issues." It says Apple has issued a software fix for the problems and has offered to replace defective batteries.
