Earlier this year HP has issued a Notebook PC Battery Pack Replacement Program notice regarding a number of notebook models which were shipped with battery packs which have the potential to overheat, posing a fire and burn hazard to consumers. The list of affected models also includes a number of Compaq products. According to the HP notice the easiest way to validate your battery is to visit the HP Notebook PC Battery Replacement Program website. The Recall notice states that if your battery is affected, HP will provide a free replacement battery pack.
