TWO LENOVO BATTERY RECALLS: Customers who bought an R Series (R51e, R52, R60, R60e), T Series (T43, T43p, T60), or X Series (X60, X60s) system between February 2005 and September 2006 may have a battery subject to recall. Additionally, customers who ordered an extra battery or received a replacement battery for any T4x or R5x Series notebook PC between February 2005 and September 2006 may also have a battery subject to recall. These batteries were manufactured by Sony. In March 2007, Lenovo issued a second recall for nine-cell, extended-life versions of a battery pack manufactured by Sanyo Electric Co. Ltd., of Japan. Lenovo sold the packs between November 2005 and February 2007 as an option in certain versions of ThinkPad notebook PCs in the R series, T series and Z series model lines. The faulty packs have the part number FRU P/N 92P1131. For details on how to determine whether or not your battery requires replacement, visit the Lenovo battery recall web site.
