They've had 16 reports of overheating, with minor property damage and two minor burns.
Hope those weren't lap burns.

If you have an Acer notebook, go to acerbatteryrecall.com to see if you have an affected battery.

Mine was one to be recalled. They said 5 weeks to recieve the battery. I made the request on the 26th and it shipped that day and is going to be here on may 1st. not too shabby.
