Hp withdraws 100,000 batteries due to risk of explosion

First Samsung, now HP. The truth is that manufacturers do not win to annoyance, and these last problems are related to batteries. Surely you remember what happened with Note 7 and its explosive battery, because now, the same problem would have HP that has requested the return of more than 100, 000 batteries due to the risk of combustion.

HP requests 100, 000 batteries to be returned due to explosion risk

This happened last year, in 2016, when HP requested the return of batteries from 40, 000 laptops due to overheating and combustion problems. As the figure, although it was high, it was not scandalous, it did not come too much to light, but now, these problems have spread, because we are talking about more than 100, 000 HP or Compaq laptop batteries that could have this “explosive” battery problem.

HP has confessed that these laptops to be returned were sold between March 2013 and October 2016, under the umbrella of HP and Compaq. The affected computers are from the ProBook, ENVY, Compaq Presario and Pavilion series . And they have been sold in Mexico, the US and Canada. HP or Compaq computers from outside these countries would in principle be safe from these combustion problems.

What are the affected HP laptops?

What we know are the models of the affected batteries. They are the following, which have these prefixes engraved on the labels: 6BZLU, 6CGFK, 6CGFQ, 6CZMB, 6DEMA, 6DEMH, 6DGAL, 6EBVA .

To speed up the process, the guys from HP have also published an application to find out if your laptop's battery is affected. You can enter from here.

What do I do if I have an HP laptop with a faulty battery?

The first thing you have to do is remove the battery from the computer (to avoid possible damage). You can also use it connected to power and without the battery inside, as you already know.

It is clear that today is HP, but tomorrow any other manufacturer. What is clear is that we are in a delicate moment for batteries. At this time, there are already more than 100, 000 batteries for which HP has requested this return. We will keep you updated.
