Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
I got this in the mail today:
Dear Acer Customer:
Acer America Corporation ("Acer"), in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, is joining other notebook computer manufacturers participating in a previously announced voluntary recall of certain lithium-ion battery packs containing cells made by Sony Energy Devices Corporation and used in certain Acer notebook computers. As announced previously by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, there have been 16 reports of notebook batteries overheating. These reports were associated with earlier recalls by other notebook computer manufacturers of batteries containing these Sony cells. These previous reports involved only minor property damage and two minor burns. None of these reports involved batteries in Acer notebook computers
We encourage you to check to see if your Acer notebook may have one of these battery packs and, if it does, we will replace your battery pack for a new one at no cost to you.
The following Acer notebook computer models sold in the United States and Canada may have battery packs affected by this replacement program:
TravelMateTM Series Beginning with:242x, 320x, 321x, 330x, 422x, 467x, 561x, C20x.
AspireTM Series Beginning with:556x, 560x, 567x, 930x, 941x, 980x.

You guys have got to be more attentive than this. This acer battery recall is so yesterday's news, you were so out of the loop that acer had to inform/contact you by "snail mail"! Imagine what could have happened to you if that battery pack had exploded
. Anyway it is good that you now know about it and you can take the necessary steps
