This only affects the iBooks and PowerBooks that used Lithium Ion batteries made by Sony...

Perhaps a mod could change the title of this post (and delete the duplicate) as it's a bit misleading...

Why are the 17 inchers never included? I want me a free new battery, damnit!

Of course, the fact that my current battery isn't under risk of exploding makes me happy.

No such thing as a free lunch, Kakaze. You'd have to send the old one back, if it was on the list

are notebooks under other odms that use sony li-ion batteries that are rebranded, under the same risk? i wonder whether such smaller companies that resell these would even put up the effort to do a recall, or if its plausible. i want a new battery.
