Toshiba battery recall details
Toshiba’s laptops aren’t immune to Sony battery problems, either.
Apparently Sony-supplied Toshiba batteries aren’t blowing up, but certain lots can suddenly lose power causing the laptop to shut off if it’s not plugged into AC. One of my Toshiba Satellites is from a model line that has some affected units, but thankfully for me, according to Toshiba’s instructions for determining whether a given battery is affected, mine is safe.
Whew, close one!
