Nokia Recalls 46 million Lithium-ion Batteries

by BBelew57 on August 15th, 2007

Nokia Corporation (ADR) (Public, NYSE:NOK) is the world's largest manufacturer of mobile phones.

When Nokia speaks, people listen.

The company has announced it will replace up to 46,000,000 batteries in its phones all over the world.

The fear is overheating…and that's not because

the users are talking so much…but maybe that helps.nokia.battery.jpg

The company wants to replace BL-5C lithium-ion battery packs, manufactured by Matsushita Battery Industrial Co…free of charge.

Cellphone users everywhere are heating up the lines by calling their cellphone service providers to see if they are affected.

What's the deal with the lithium-ion battery anyway? Doesn't seem like its ready to go mainstream yet…though it already has.

Sony had problems. Toyota is delaying mass production of its Prius using the technology. 

What other companies use the lithium-ion battery I wonder?
