Apple iBook and PowerBook computer batteries pose fire risk.(Apple Computer Inc., Lithium-ion batteries)(Brief Article)
Apple is warning iBook and PowerBook owners about fire hazard associated with rechargeable lithium-ion batteries designed for use with the notebook computers. In a worldwide alert involving 225,000 batteries, 128,000 in the U.S., the company says owners should remove the battery and check the model and serial numbers to determine if it's at risk. If so, use the AC adapter until the battery can be replaced through an online exchange program.
There have been six reports internationally of batteries overheating, but no fires, as a result of an internal electrical short-circuit. The batteries were made by LG Chem Ltd. of South Korea.
The batteries were sold from October 2004 through May 2005 with the 12-inch iBook G4, 12-inch PowerBook G4, and 15-inch PowerBook G4. They were also sold via mail order, at stores, and online.
