(InfoWorld) - Matsushita Electric IndustrialÂ (MEI) will cover the direct costs of a battery recall affecting 46 million Nokia mobile phones, which could be as high as $172 million. MEI is the parent company of Matsushita Battery Industrial, which manufactured the batteries. The estimated costs will be between Â¥10 billion and Â¥20 billion ($86 million and $172 million), Matsushita said in a Friday press release. The company will accrue those costs in the first half of 2008, the vendor added. The costs include money Nokia had to spend on logistics and call centers as well as the replacement battery costs. Nokia announced Aug. 14 that it wasÂ recalling the Nokia-branded BL-5C batteries, made by Matsushita, because of a risk of overheating. The batteries were sold with a wide range of Nokia phones. Any Nokia consumer who is currently using a Nokia product containing a BL-5C battery subject to the product advisory can request a replacement battery free of charge. Customers who would like to check if their BL-5C battery is subject to the advisory should visit the recall Web site or contact their local Nokia call center, Nokia said. Nokia's top priorities are "the safety of our customers and the reliability and quality of our products," Robert Andersson [cq], head of Nokia customer and market operations, said in a statement. Matsushita has established a corporate lithium-ion battery customer support and management division to help deal with the impact of the recall, the company said. Â
