SEATTLE — Computer makers are recalling 100,000 laptop battery packs made by Sony after 40 reports of overheating, according to a U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission notice Thursday.

The recall applies to certain Sony 2.15Ah lithium-ion cell batteries made in Japan and sold around the world in laptops made by Hewlett-Packard Co., Dell Inc. and Toshiba Corp.

I think my Dell laptop battery is in this. I have it charging most of the time but it still gets very hot when I have it sittin here, esp when I play games that require the processor to work harder. The battery drain can be quite immense.

lipos get hot when charging (my charge rig for lipos have a thermopile to keep an eye on this.

it amuses me. i have a laptop and think nothing of charging it on a wooden desk, yet my lipo packs are in a nomex bag within an old ammo tin outside the house when i charge those.

I usually set my laptop on my pillows while I am laying down in the tractor trailer here so when I start feeling the heat on the pillow I try to prop it up with my hand or an object to let the air get under the laptop. I also use my laptop as my MP3 player with the music selection I put on here. I have a tape deck adapter that plugs into the headphone jack and sends my music into my truck's sound system. Its better than CDs cause the laptop doesn't skip. This truck is a Volvo and they still use tape decks even though they are electronic.
