615738
(InfoWorld) - Toshiba is offering to replace a further 830,000 laptop batteries containing cellsÂ made by Sony, it said Friday. The offer covers computers sold worldwide and is separate from aÂ similar announcementÂ made by the company last week. Toshiba is offering to exchange the batteries to ease customer concerns in the light of several recentÂ high-profile battery recalls, it said. "There is no safety issue, we will voluntarily exchange the battery pack used in certain notebook PCs," said Keisuke Ohmori, a spokesman for Toshiba in Tokyo. The announcement came less than a day after Lenovo Group said it wouldÂ replace batteriesÂ for 526,000 of its laptops sold in 2005 and 2006. Last week, ToshibaÂ offered to exchangeÂ 340,000 notebook batteries because it said they could unexpectedly cut power, causing users to lose unsaved work. The latest offer covers batteries in the following laptop models: Satellite T10, T11, T12, T20, A50; Tecra M3, M4, M5, M7, S3; Portege S100, M300, M400, M500; Dynabook SS LX, L10, L11, M10, M11, M35, MX, MXW; Dynabook R10; Dynabook TX/2, TX/3, TX4; Qosmio G30, F30; Other models sold only overseas are also covered but were not named by Toshiba in Japan.
