The affected battery packs were distributed in certain notebook PCs within the following model series:

Note: Not all HP notebook PCs listed below have an affected battery pack. HP encourages you to validate all battery packs shipped with the notebook PC or purchased as options or spares.

	» Frequently Asked Questions

Why is HP expanding the May 14, 2009 battery recall previously expanded on May 19, 2010 again?

HP continuously monitors the recall program. Our monitoring showed that additional battery packs should be included in the recall program. These additional battery packs were sold with HP notebook PCs from July 2007 through July 2008. One additional commercial product model series was also included in the recall program as part of this expansion. HP customers affected by this program will be eligible to receive a free replacement battery pack for each verified, recalled battery pack.

Why didn’t HP identify all of the affected battery packs before the May 19th 2010 announcement?

HP conducted further investigations with our suppliers that identified additional battery packs, including certain battery packs used in one additional commercial product model series.
