HP adds to list of recalled laptop batteries

If you own an HP laptop, you may have seen the recall of defective batteries the company issued one year ago. Even if you checked your battery's status then, you'll want to do so again. HP just updated its list of the batteries it says can overheat, posing a fire or burn hazard. If you own one of the affected batteries—it could be the original battery that came with your laptop or a replacement—HP will replace it free of charge.

You can find the notebook model number on the underside of your laptop. The battery bar code is located on the battery itself.

Here's an updated list of HP's recalled batteries ("^" indicates a number, character, or letter):
