Toshiba to Recall 100,000 Laptop Batteries in the U.S.

Toshiba announced that it is recalling 340,000 battery packs for Satellite and Dynabook laptops made between March and May. The 100,000 affected battery units are in the United States. Sony made those batteries but the problem doesn’t cause them to explode. Instead the batteries just stop charging or discharge too fast, the Wall Street Journal cited the AP report.

There is no recall notification on the Toshiba web site yet, but there is information that Toshiba laptops are not affected by Sony overheating battery issue, which caused the recent massive Dell and Apple notebook battery recalls.
