Nokia Recalls 46 Million Batteries

by Darren

Nokia has been having some troubles with batteries lately. The latest word is the recall of 46 million batteries that overheat and might “pop out” of the phone.

In a product advisory, Nokia officially states that, “in very rare cases the affected batteries could potentially experience over heating initiated by a short circuit while charging, causing the battery to dislodge.”

Nokia said no serious injuries had been reported (maybe just a couple of bruised noses…) and that there’s no risk of fire. Nokia planned to replace the “BL-5C” battery at no charge.

Nokia has setup a special website to handle the recall. Please visit: Battery Replacement at Nokia.
