Sony li-ion battery trouble: any on MD yet?

[dingo1]

I held back from asking this question when Sony's li-ion Dell batteries were recalled for blowing up...

Now Sony's recalling the Mac Powerbook li-ion batteries.

I have had NO issues at all with my MD li-ion batteries, on my DH10P or NH1 or now RH1.

I repeat: I've had NO TROUBLE with these batteries, in heavy use, for the last couple of years.

But since Sony seems to be having issues with oddball li-ion batteries, I thought I'd ask this forum: any trouble? Overheating, or worse?

Up to now, no trouble at all; but my rh-1 was born a month ago

Just to reiterate for MD use as well, I have yet to encounter any issues with Sony’s Lithium Ion Battery.

Just to reiterate for MD use as well, I have yet to encounter any issues with Sony’s Lithium Ion Battery.

I've noticed one issue with some of the older InfoLithium packs - they REALLY don't like being discharged to 0% then left for more than a few days - it reduces their storage capacity quite a bit.

If you're going to store a lithium ion pack, discharge it to about 50% (almost anywhere between 40-60% is fine) then remove it from the laptop, MD player, or whatever it's powering. That way, the only thing that'll be draining the battery will be the battery protection circuit (which is built into the battery).
