Hewlett-Packard is making a high-stakes bet that it won't get burned by a bad battery. Dell, Apple, Lenovo, Toshiba and Fujitsu are recalling 7.7 million laptop batteries made by Sony. The batteries can, in rare instances, overheat and catch fire. HP uses Sony battery parts, too, but it is not recalling them.

(InfoWorld) - Acer, the world's fourth-largest PC vendor, is in talks with Sony over joining its voluntary laptop PC battery recall, but said Acer users haven't reported any problems so far. "Previously, we believed there were no problems with our batteries, but now we're in discussions with Sony, just to make sure," said Stella Chou, an Acer representative in Taipei. Acer has not received any complaints from users over laptops overheating or catching fire, she said. Sony's battery woesÂ started in August whenÂ Dell recalled 4.1 millionÂ laptop computer batteries due to a potential fire hazard caused by Sony-made lithium-ion battery cells damaged during production. Other companies soon followed Dell's lead, includingÂ Apple Computer,Â Lenovo Group, andÂ Toshiba. Sony has already agreed to pay at least some of the cost of the battery recalls, telling investors in August that the Dell and Apple recalls could cost it between Â¥20 billion and Â¥30 billion ($169 million and $254 million). The Japanese electronics giant has not updated the figure since then. Late last week,Â Sony announcedÂ a global battery exchange program due to growing user concerns. Over 6.6 million laptop batteries have been recalled since mid-August.
