Since there have been at least 16 incidences of batteries catching
fire, HP will replace batteries with serial numbers beginning with GC,
IA, L0 or L1. These include many batteries shipped with the HP/Compaq
R3000, zv5000 and nx9105 models (my nx9105 had an 8 cell battery with
a serial number starting with GC).

This again confirms that the batteries truly suck, at least the 8 cell
ones. At least I'll get a new one.

Just checked my battery pack... And
"Thank you for completing this validation process. Your battery pack is
not affected, and is not part of this replacement program."
Seems kind of strange; the battery pack has the barcode starting with
GC, the notebook was purchased in June 2004, and it's an 8 cell.... I'll
try again later on, and maybe give them a call. I really want a new pack
because my current pack only charges up to about 60%.
