    Hmmm... I can't find a corresponding Lenovo article. Luckily, though, my battery number is 1 digit off from being affected.

    Looks like the 9 cell on my Z61m was affected. Already filled out the info for a replacement. I guess this was only for 9 cell batteries right? I have a new T60 with a 6 cell and I haven't checked to see if there is any recall on it.
