Apple has initiated an exchange program and will provide eligible customers with a new replacement battery, free of charge. No other PowerBook or iBook batteries are part of this recall.
Identifying your battery:
The recalled batteries have the Model Number: A1045 and serial numbers that begin with: HQ404, HQ405, HQ406, HQ407, or HQ408.

- Substantial savings
- A fully functional unit with complete documentation
- The assurance that the unit meets Apple's premiere quality standards, and that its defective components have been replaced by genuine Apple components
