According to both Sony and the Consumer Product Safety Commission earlier this afternoon, the Japanese electronics giant will be withdrawing 100,000 notebook batteries that hold Sony 2.15Ah lithium-ion cells within. Up to 35,000 of these were sold in the US, while the remaining 65,000 are circulating in international markets. When will Sony start to buck up when it comes to battery technology?
