Apple Battery Recall

If you are new here, you may want to subscribe to our feed.

Rounding out my battery recall news is Apple. Apple had a previous battery recall for Powerbook G4’s. That may be good news for you because your battery might not hold charge anymore and you can get a new, free one. Woohoo. The issue is that the battery can overheat, just like in the previous Dell Battery Recall and HP Compaq battery recalls I posted about. The Powerbook G4 batteries in question carry the model number A1045 and serial numbers that begin with HQ404, HQ405, HQ406, HQ407 or HQ408. But there has just been issued a newer recall that includes iBook batteries as well.

Computer model	Battery model number	Battery serial number range
12-inch iBook G4	A1061	HQ441 – HQ507
12-inch PowerBook G4	A1079	3X446 – 3X510
15-inch PowerBook G4	A1078	3X446 – 3X509

The batteries affected include the 12 inch iBook G4 with battery model number A1061 and serial numbers running numerically from HQ441 to HQ507. The 12 inch Powerbook G4’s with battery model number A1079 with serial numbers running from 3X446 to 3X510. And finally, 15 inch Powerbook G4’s with battery model number A1078 and serial numbers from 3X446 to 3X509. You can find that information on the bottom of the batteries.

You can be issued a new battery by going to Apple’s battery replacement page. Or you can call (800) 275-2273.
