Toshiba Battery Recall
Tuesday, September 19, 2006
Just released by Toshiba today, the Toshiba Battery Exchange Program is now in effect.
It covers certain machines manufactured between March and May of 2006. The affected batteries simply quit working. Toshiba is offering to replace affected batteries with new batteries, free of charge.
Is this news? Two things.
1. We’ve seen this problem with batteries for years.
2. The affected machines were just manufactured- if the battery quits they’re already under warranty anyways.
I guess it is a “recall” since Toshiba will replace affected batteries whether or not they have actually failed. No explosions that we’re aware of- these batteries just die.
Affected models include:
Satellite A100/A105
Satellite M50/M55
Satellite M100/M105
Tecra A6
Tecra A7
