    I don't know what models but any sony battery is what is affected. I don't know which IBM's will be recalled.

    Sony knew a year ago the batteries were faulty and did nothing. Big business at it again, we will try and get away with it if we can. It doesn't matter if somebody gets injured, we will just send the lawyers in. :evil:

    Here is the story.
