Product Advisory: Nokia BL-5C battery
Dear Nokia Customer,
This is a product advisory for the Nokia-branded BL-5C battery manufactured by
Matsushita Battery Industrial Co. Ltd. of Japan between December 2005 and
November 2006. This product advisory does not apply to any other Nokia battery.
Nokia has identified that in very rare cases the affected batteries could
potentially experience over heating initiated by a short circuit while charging,
causing the battery to dislodge. Nokia is working closely with relevant local
authorities to investigate this situation.
Nokia has several suppliers for BL-5C batteries that have collectively produced
more than 300 million BL-5C batteries. This advisory applies only to the
46 million batteries manufactured by Matsushita between December 2005 and
November 2006. There have been approximately 100 incidents of over heating
reported
globally. No serious injuries or property damage have been reported.
Consumers with a BL-5C battery subject to this advisory should note that all of
the approximately 100 incidents have occurred while charging the battery.
According to Nokia's knowledge this issue does not affect any other use of the
mobile device. Concerned consumers may want to monitor a mobile device while
charging that contains a BL-5C battery subject to this product advisory.
While the occurence in the BL-5C batteries produced by Matsushita in the
time-period specified is very rare, for consumers wishing to do so, Nokia and
Matsushita offer to replace for free any BL-5C battery subject to this product
advisory.
The BL-5C batteries which are subject to the product advisory were used with
the following Nokia models or separately as accessories:
