I no longer have an X60 or X61 to run the recall software on - and they won't let me do the recall over the phone. I'm looking for $20 for the battery plus $4 in postage. It's a reasonable path to getting a brand new battery from Lenovo via the recall program. Paypal please.

Is it possible to claim battery recall, by using another machine with warranty expired?

Until a replacement for a recalled battery arrives, to continue using your ThinkPad notebook PC safely, you should turn off the system, remove the battery, and only power your ThinkPad by plugging in the AC adapter and power cord.
Lenovo apologizes for the inconvenience caused by these issues. Shipment of quality products always has been and continues to be the foremost concern.
