On March 1, 2007, Lenovo recalled approximately 208,000 9-cell lithium-ion batteries. These batteries were manufactured for use with ThinkPad notebook computers that shipped worldwide between November 2005 and February 2007. The recall was made because of a risk that they could catch fire if dropped.
The following Thinkpad models were affected:
- R60 and R60e Series
- T60 and T60p Series
- Z60m, Z61e, Z61m, and Z61p Series
Only the 9-cell batteries with the part number FRU P/N 92P1131 are being recalled.
Consumers should stop using the batteries immediately. The batteries can overheat and pose a fire hazard if the laptop is dropped, Lenovo said.
Earlier in September of 2006 Lenovo had recalled 526,000 rechargeable lithium-ion Sony batteries. This time around Sanyo batteries are the culprit.
