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.

Thanks for the reminder. Just ordered two.

According to the site, they expect you to not use the existing battery until you receive your replacement some 4-6 weeks later. Maybe mine will go on fire forcing them to send me a new Mactel MacBook Pro.

Chris, if you have any luck with that, email me. I would love to trade my G4 iBook for a new MacBook Pro !
