| 1371643 | 2014-03-30 19:28:00 | If you have, you may want to see if it's one that's affected by a battery recall (support.lenovo.com) Dear Lenovo Customer, On March 27, 2014, Lenovo voluntarily recalled certain lithium-ion batteries. These batteries were manufactured for use with ThinkPad notebook computers that shipped worldwide between October 2010 and April 2011. Lenovo is offering replacement batteries free of charge regardless of warranty status. View March 27, 2014 battery recall FAQs. (support.lenovo.com) Lenovo sold the batteries with new notebook computers or as optional or replacement batteries on the models listed below. ThinkPad T410, T420, T510, W510, X100E, X120E, X200, X201, X201s Series Edge 11, Edge 13, and Edge 14 Series Option P/Ns 43R9255, 51J0500, 57Y4186, 57Y4564, 57Y4565, 57Y4625, 57Y4559, 43R9254, 0A36277 These models may have shipped with 3-cell, 4-cell, 6-cell or 9-cell batteries. Until a replacement battery arrives, you should turn off the system, remove the battery, and only power your ThinkPad by plugging in the AC adapter and power cord. Lenovo apologizes for the inconvenience caused by this issue. Shipment of quality products always has been and continues to be the foremost concern. |

| 1371647 | 2014-03-30 22:26:00 | I have a Lenovo Think Pad Edge E530. It has been on for about 18 months with no sign of heating in the battery area, in fact it is very cool running. I will contact the suppliers, no harm in getting a free battery:) | mzee (3324) | ||
