Apple is voluntarily recalling certain lithium ion rechargeable batteries that were sold worldwide from October 2004 through May 2005 for use with the following notebook computers: 12-inch iBook G4, 12-inch PowerBook G4 and 15-inch PowerBook G4. These batteries were manufactured by LG Chem, Ltd. of South Korea.

The affected batteries could overheat, posing a fire hazard to consumers. Apple has received six consumer reports of these batteries overheating. If you have a recalled battery, please stop using it and order a replacement battery immediately. Once you have removed the battery, plug in the AC adapter to power the computer. If you must temporarily use your computer with the battery, do not leave it unattended and check for signs of overheating.

Apple has initiated a worldwide exchange program and will provide eligible customers with a new replacement battery, free of charge.

To find out if you have one of the affected batteries follow the link below

As far as I remember this was posted about before, will check if my serial's match, because then it is a new recall.
 
I remember posting this, but it may have been lost in the DB crash. Good to have the information around again just in case someone needs it. :)
 
Yeah I poked around to see if I could find anything about it on the forums already

Any of the SP crew still out there?
