Toshiba recalls 340,000 Sony batteries

Toshiba now recalls 340,000 laptop batteries that were made by Sony and were shipped with laptops made between March and May this year. The BBC states that the batteries may lose all their power. This is the largest battery recall in computer history (if you hadn't heard), and Toshiba joins an list of companies whom Sony has effectively screwed with bad batteries. The recall is in effect for Dynabook and Dynabook Satellite notebooks where in rare cases the batteries would simply lose power. There is no risk on overheating or catching fire for Toshiba's version of the batteries known, so this problem isn't quite so explosive, literally.
