Very Kind of Apple...
I now had my Powerbook G4 for nearly two years and was just thinking the other day that I need a new battery soon, as the old one is starting to go flat at an alarming rate after nearly two years of continual use...well and today, I had an email from Apple:"Dear Apple Customer:
Apple has determined that certain lithium-ion rechargeable batteries containing cells manufactured by Sony Corporation of Japan pose a safety risk that may result in overheating. The affected batteries were sold worldwide, in systems and separately, from October 2003 to August 2006 inclusive for use with the following computers: 12-inch iBook G4, 12-inch PowerBook G4, 15-inch PowerBook G4.
Apple is voluntarily recalling the affected batteries and has initiated a worldwide exchange programme and will provide you with a new replacement battery, free of charge. This programme is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and other international safety authorities. "
Remember the exploding Dell laptops? Yeah...well at least I'm getting a new battery free of charge! Hoorah! :-)
