Thinkpads Forum

Hey guys, just got this notification and wanted to get it out there:


Dear Lenovo Customer,

On March 27, 2014, Lenovo voluntarily recalled certain lithium-ion batteries. These batteries were manufactured for use with ThinkPad notebook computers that shipped worldwide between October 2010 and April 2011. Lenovo is offering replacement batteries free of charge regardless of warranty status.

View March 27, 2014 battery recall FAQs.

Lenovo sold the batteries with new notebook computers or as optional or replacement batteries on the models listed below.
•ThinkPad T410, T420, T510, W510, X100E, X120E, X200, X201, X201s Series
•Edge 11, Edge 13, and Edge 14 Series
•Option P/Ns 43R9255, 51J0500, 57Y4186, 57Y4564, 57Y4565, 57Y4625, 57Y4559, 43R9254, 0A36277
These models may have shipped with 3-cell, 4-cell, 6-cell or 9-cell batteries.

Until a replacement battery arrives, 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 this issue. Shipment of quality products always has been and continues to be the foremost concern.

I saw this on Lenovo's Support site the other day. Thank you for the reminder. The link that you provided leads me to a 404 Error Page. I believe this one that I have listed below should work. Also, both my 6 cell & 9 cell for the T410 that I have is not in the recall. I need to check the T420 battery as well.

Its worth a shot, costs nothing really unless you don't have a Windows machine preinstalled.
