By a series of notebook battery recall
September 5, 6000 Panasonic announced the existence of the recall of notebook hp 372772-001 battery,hp 398876-001 battery overheating problems. Prior to this, as some models of notebook batteries overheating and spontaneous combustion of the existence of the problem, Dell has recalled 4.1 million batteries, Apple also “follow step-by-step” recovery of 1.8 million batteries.
Matsushita spokesman denied the production of batteries by Sony Corporation, said manufacturers and battery as a result of an agreement between the agreement, can not disclose the name of battery manufacturers. “So far the problem has not caused as a result of battery fire, and no one was injured, Panasonic is still unclear how much the recall cost.”
The Dell and Apple have announced the recall of batteries from Sony, the recall will be covered by the manufacturers and Sony share the responsibility.
In response, Sony is expected to Dell and Apple battery recall will cost from 20 to 30 billion yen, and that means 172 million U.S. dollars to between 259 million U.S. dollars.
Although the Dell and Apple will be targeting the Sony batteries, but Sony spokesman said several times made, and with the full support of Sony’s business operations, but the Sony brand used in notebook technology is not the same, so the same Sony laptop batteries have been found with similar problems. “In certain extreme conditions, as a result of cell in the existence of a number of metal particles, the hp 417066-001 battery,hp 346970-001 battery facing the risk of overheating and even fire will increase.”
20 battery factory “charge” to seek out
The EU recently adopted a draft Directive on batteries environmentally-friendly, access to the EU market of battery products, not only to meet more stringent mercury, cadmium content of the requirements of the battery business will bear the expensive cost of battery recycling. From Zhongshan Inspection and Quarantine Bureau that the city has 20 battery export enterprises will be the impact of instruction.
Battery factory in our city affected by the 20
At present, the EU Battery Directive has been approved by the Council and the European Parliament, the European Union will soon become law. Directive enters into force, where the mercury content of more than 0.0005%, cadmium content of more than 0.002% of the battery, in the European Union will be to prohibit the sale. In addition, from 2009 onwards, all sales in the European Union have to identify the specific battery life; in 2012 before the European Union 1 / 4 of the used batteries to be recycled, recycling burden borne by the manufacturer.
“This is the export of Zhongshan, a great influence on the hp 367759-001 battery,hp f2024a battery.” Zhongshan Inspection and Quarantine, said the person in charge. It is understood that the current export enterprises in our city there are 20 batteries, 2005 battery 1326 the EU approved the export amount of more than 43,220,000 U.S. dollars, accounting for total exports of the four batteries into. “Technology is relatively weak strength of the small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises battery will be a greater impact.”
Commodity inspection as soon as possible to remind the companies to deal with
Zhongshan battery in order to ensure smooth entry into the EU market, Zhongshan Inspection and Quarantine rapid battery export enterprises to the city about the new directive requirements, ready to help enterprises cope with the work.
Inspection and quarantine departments, enterprises must strengthen the management, strictly control the production process, avoiding the use of Hazardous Substances Directive limits; Second, we must pay close attention to risk analysis study, based on the distribution of market and customer requirements, implementation of targeted response; again is to improve the production technology, rapid development alternative to nickel-cadmium batteries. Qualified enterprises, it is necessary to pay close attention to studying the recycling of scrap battery recycling technology, and consider the establishment of offshore recovery systems.
Zhongshan Inspection and Quarantine is responsible for that, although the implementation of directives from some time, but companies should not be negligent, it is necessary to carry out technological transformation as soon as possible. “July 1 implementation of ROSH directives, some electronics companies because they do not respond in a timely manner, leading to sluggish exports, this is a lesson.”
To intensify research and development enterprises strive to break through
The face of the EU directive demanding requirements, some of the larger city of hp 372772-001 battery,hp 398876-001 battery,hp 417066-001 battery companies have started to respond, and strive to break through.
Zhongshan Hengli Electrical Appliance Group is the leading city of the battery production enterprises, 90 percent of its export products, of which more than 1 / 3 exported to EU countries. “I think there should be more difficult to reach the standards, and instructions on the whole a great impact on the battery industry.” Hengli Electrical Appliance Group engineers Liu told reporters, “We have been before the European CE certification and licensing battery products, the next step need to do is to further strengthen the management, intensify research and development of new products. ”
Another city — battery enterprises in Zhongshan Torch High-tech Co., Ltd. it has been successfully developed by the industry as the “Green batteries” of the nickel hydrogen battery. The batteries are included in the national “863″ projects 346970-001,hp 367759-001,f2024a in the international market with strong competitive advantages, the project is expected in the near future to achieve industrialization.
