Apple recalls iBook and PowerBook Batteries

128,000 rechargable batteries are being recalled in the United States. If you own an Apple iBook or PowerBook, double check to see if you are at risk of having these defective batteries. Apparently, an internal short can lead to the batteries overheating and therefore posing a fire hazard.

Computer model name	Battery model number	Battery serial number range
12-inch iBook G4	A1061	HQ441 – HQ507
12-inch PowerBook G4	A1079	3X446 – 3X510
15-inch PowerBook G4	A1078	3X446 – 3X509

This warning is taken from the CPSC site:
"Consumers should stop using the recalled batteries immediately and contact Apple to arrange for a replacement battery, free of charge. After removing the recalled battery from their iBook or PowerBook, consumers should plug in the AC adapter to power the computer until a replacement battery arrives."
