After a global exchange of its notebook batteries made for other vendors, Sony is recalling power cells in its own laptop line.

According to reports, the exchange program is currently limited to VAIOs sold within Japan and China even as Sony is considering expanding the recall to other countries. The power cells affected are models VGP-BPS2B and VGP-BPS3A, which are used in the VAIO AR, FE, FS, SZ and T series. According to the Japanese manufacturer, around 90,000 cells will be affected.
