Found this pretty interesting (especially since I was WELL aware of Dell's recall, but had heard NOTHING about Apple's) http//www.slate.com/id/2148505/?GT1=8483

The problems with Dell and Apple were both with Sony batteries

Yea my Dell doesn't use the recalled batteries, and my G/F's 700m battery was fine as well. Also, recalls like this more than likely prompt lawsuit scams...(i.e. intentionally causing the battery to explode, then suing)

the number on my battery matched one on the recall list but then when i entered in the whole serial number it said that a replacement wasnt necessary

I would like to see a rebuttal commercial from the PC industry for all those lame ass Mac commercials they've been airing.

mine says that the computer is eligible for battery recall but "The battery entered is not impacted and is not a part of this exchange program. Please verify the battery and serial number were entered correctly and that your serial model and battery model match (Example iBook serial to iBook battery"
so, if i understand correctly, i dont need to exchange the battery?

"The battery entered is not impacted and is not a part of this exchange program"

I'd say the battery isn't impacted, and doesn't need to be exchanged
