Sony’s Batteries Bite Apple
On the heels of last week’s Dell battery recall (link is to a PC Magazine article if you need to see the details), Apple is recalling 1.8 million Sony-produced batteries found in iBook G4 and PowerBook G4 laptops. The company’s web page for the battery-exchange program is here.
Apple’s recall involves a much bigger percentage of its customer base than Dell’s did of theirs. It would not surprise me if the recall strains the business relationship that had shown signs of building in other areas.
