[Macpartners] iBook G4/PowerBook G4 battery recall

[Albert Willis]

 From Apple's website (https://support.apple.com/ibook_powerbook/ 
batteryexchange/):

Apple has determined that certain lithium-ion batteries containing  
cells manufactured by Sony Corporation of Japan pose a safety risk  
that may result in overheating under rare circumstances.

The affected batteries were sold worldwide from October 2003 through  
August 2006 for use with the following notebook computers: 12-inch  
iBook G4, 12-inch PowerBook G4 and 15-inch PowerBook G4.

Apple is voluntarily recalling the affected batteries and has  
initiated a worldwide exchange program to provide eligible customers  
with a new replacement battery, free of charge. This program is being  
conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety  
Commission (CPSC) and other international safety authorities.
