I've got a few Sanyo devices I might need to check up on though, but you're right, if this was a Sony product, the bashers would be on top of this already

The bad news for all of us is that Sanyo is the biggest Li-ion battery supplier in the world, and therefore, their battery packs and cells are used in many devices that we use.

But the good news is that according to Sanyo, the faulty battery packs were manufactured by its subsidiary Sanyo GS Soft Energy which Sanyo purchased from GS Yuasa in 2003, and since the subsidiary uses "completely" different design and manufacturing processes, the problem is contained to the subsidiary's product, which is less than 20% of all Sanyo Li-ion batteries.

Of course, "less than 20%" equates to 10 million batteries per month, but let's pretend we didn't realize that...]]>Dec 7th 2006 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/ntt-docomo-recalling-1-3-million-sanyo-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/ntt-docomo-recalling-1-3-million-sanyo-batteries/
I think you just figured it out. I've kinda sat silent and watched everyone bash the heck out of Sony. I just thought this article as a bit too far. Thanks for calling this one out.]]>Dec 7th 2006 7:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/ntt-docomo-recalling-1-3-million-sanyo-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/ntt-docomo-recalling-1-3-million-sanyo-batteries/

I'd like to think that Engadget didn't bash Sanyo in this post because I have suggested to them that they keep their criticism constructive when I sent the news.

Perhaps I'm naive, but I like Engadget, and I'm happy to see that they have learned from their mistakes.

So, let's not bash Engadget when they are doing things right. Trust me, if Engadget ever again accuses that Sony (or whatever company for that matter) is running deceitful advertisement and on the next day or so wag its tail and join PS3 event and brag about it without any evidence of confronting them regarding the ad, I will be all over them (or simply just leave and never come back).]]>Dec 7th 2006 7:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/ntt-docomo-recalling-1-3-million-sanyo-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/ntt-docomo-recalling-1-3-million-sanyo-batteries/
The batteries are reportedly found in claims made by Sony, but doesn't exactly provide for ...


wtf is he trying to say there?]]>Dec 7th 2006 8:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/ntt-docomo-recalling-1-3-million-sanyo-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/ntt-docomo-recalling-1-3-million-sanyo-batteries/
Unfortunately, when you sell millions of them you are going to have issues like this.]]>Dec 7th 2006 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/ntt-docomo-recalling-1-3-million-sanyo-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/ntt-docomo-recalling-1-3-million-sanyo-batteries/
I wish I could agree with you but I can't help but see the meaningless sentence as another stab at Sony. After so many bad articles I cannot help but question the motives of misquoting the article.

I too am a long time fan of Engadget and like to think that eventually they will get back on track.]]>Dec 7th 2006 9:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/ntt-docomo-recalling-1-3-million-sanyo-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/ntt-docomo-recalling-1-3-million-sanyo-batteries/< My first battery recall, wo0t !!]]>Dec 7th 2006 10:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/ntt-docomo-recalling-1-3-million-sanyo-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/ntt-docomo-recalling-1-3-million-sanyo-batteries/
Must be something about the names]]>Dec 8th 2006 4:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/ntt-docomo-recalling-1-3-million-sanyo-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/ntt-docomo-recalling-1-3-million-sanyo-batteries/
Do you people at engadget just got out of your way to bash Sony, especially with a poorly written sentence just to get sony's name on this "article" -and I use the term article lightly.

Does some marketing firm owned by microsoft write engadget a check whenever you guys bash sony? Possible. I've already learned that marketing firms are being used to spread discontent about blu-ray over the message boards, perhaps engadget is part of a marketing plan to belittle Sony.

I am surprised you guys at engadget don't try hard enough to mask all the sony hate there.]]>Dec 8th 2006 6:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/ntt-docomo-recalling-1-3-million-sanyo-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/ntt-docomo-recalling-1-3-million-sanyo-batteries/Dec 8th 2006 7:33AM
