Toshiba Recalls 340,000 Sony-Manufactured Batteries

Toshiba is latest to be affected by Sony-produced notebook batteries. The company announced on Monday that it would recall 340,000 batteries found in its Dynabook and Satellite series notebooks — 100,000 of which were sold in the United States. It should be noted that this recall doesn’t involve batteries catching fire as in previous recalls. Instead, this recall is related to the battery packs unexpectedly losing power under normal operating conditions.

Sony’s year just doesn’t seem to be getting any better! If you have a Toshiba notebook, you may want to see if your battery is recalled.
