Sony Battery Recall Expands to Toshiba
Last week we reported that the Sony Battery recall would extend to IBM’s Lenovo Thinkpads after it was identified that the famous LAX laptop explosion resulted from a Thinkpad with a Sony battery.
The recall officially launched for Thinkpads and now it appears that it is expanding.
Dell is recalling 100,000 additional laptops and it looks as if Toshiba will join the mix soon as well.

THERE IS A COMPLETELY SAFE LAPTOP BATTERY TECHNOLOGY
The Li-Fiber cell is completely safe and with $1 million the company can produce enough cells to prove that it has a laptop battery that is not only completely safe but also outperforms all existing laptop batteries. The 2006 massive recall by DELL, Apple, IBM, Toshiba, Panasonic, Fujitsu and Lenovo of over 7 million notebook computer batteries made by Sony would be a thing of the past. The present lithium-ion battery is an almost zero tolerance technology, prone to failure, over heat, fire, and even explosion; hence the need for protection circuits. The higher the cell capacity the more serious the problem. For high capacity multi-cell high voltage batteries, for example, 10 Ah, 200 V for hybrid electric vehicles HEV’s, inherently safe battery chemistry is essential but cannot be met with conventional Li-Ion cells. The Li-Fiber battery does not overheat and makes a very good safe high performance [yet cheaper] laptop and power tool batteries.
