Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Sony Laptop Battery
We know that thousands of Sony batteries have been recalled, but unfortunately, like all recalls, not all of the affected batteries such as Sony VGN-CR390 Battery , Sony VGN-CR4000 Battery , Sony VGN-S4HP Battery , Sony VGN-SZ740 Battery , Sony VGN-SZ750 Battery , Sony VGN-SZ760 Battery , Sony VGN-T Battery , Sony VGN-T90S Battery , Sony VGN-T92S Battery , Sony VGN-TX16C Battery , Sony VGN-TX1XP Battery , Sony VGN-TX25C Battery have been replaced. Anyone that even thinks that they might have one should really contact their notebook’s manufacturer. If not, you could end up with a horribly burned laptop just like the one below.
The owners of laptop that caught fire last year are currently suing both Apple Japan and Sony for a sum of over $16,700 for damages caused when the battery overheated and caught fire. The man claims that the suffered burns on his finger when it caught fire, and his wife is seeking damages for mental distress.
Honestly, I don’t think it will take much to get this case settled. First, the batteries are known to have these issues, and second, they’re asking for a relatively small amount in damages. Had it happened over here in the states, someone would probably be asking for something closer to the million dollar mark.
