Nokia, the impact of large-scale recall of batteries
46 million mobile phone batteries, not a small amount IBM Battery, but Nokia is still committed to the recall, or a replacement. In the event layers of mobile phone battery is not never a time when Nokia’s of this recall or the wise. If the Nokia cell phone batteries and even the dead wounding incident occurred when the reputation is clearly not the world’s largest mobile phone manufacturers are willing to see. This person is also Diubu Qi. Battery has brought embarrassment to many vendors, old notebook computer batteries just dust off the incident, cell phone manufacturers are once again embracing the battery controversy. When the stabbing incident at a time when the media constantly seen, we have mobile phone batteries are also more likely to harm an alert. This mobile phone manufacturers are also put forward new demands, originally present popularity of smart phones has made mobile phone battery mobile phone standby time is short as the development of a bottleneck, today’s incident is to make people unsafe mobile phone batteries on the development of a more concerns.
The media revealed that the replacement mobile phone ibm 40Y6795 , ibm 40Y6797 , ibm 40Y6799 batteries approach the question is: does the use of the user of this type of batteries, Nokia will be taken at the global DHL courier, sent a new battery. For areas not yet covered by DHL in China, Nokia will take the form of other courier, to ensure that users receive a new battery. But exactly how customers declare their battery recall in this context, no one clear-cut explanation, which verify the battery is the English interface, I use a Nokia N70, also belong to BL-5C batteries in the column model, I call the Chinese market, Nokia’s Customer Service Hotline: 4008800123, but several are not allocated dial, finally, the site in English interface queries, does not belong to the scope of this recall.
We note that the scope of Nokia’s latest recall involves more extensive, then, Nokia’s current cost of the recall that be? Free of charge to replace a battery, at present, BL-5C battery market price of 150 yuan, of course, there may be some differences around. Plus delivery costs, a rough estimate, Nokia mobile phone battery faster this Jizhao 4600 cost of 8.0 billion for crude on course, Nokia’s battery may have to lower procurement costs, courier costs are specifically different, but in any ibm 92P1101 , ibm 92P1102 case that, for several The cost was 100 million U.S. dollars inevitable.
Concern is why Nokia’s initiative on this scale recall of action? After all, the amount involved and influence is still very large. As the world’s largest mobile phone maker, Nokia, the quality is certainly to be pursued, but also it is based on the market simply, if your mobile phone brands, there appeared the adverse impact of mobile phone batteries, it will not be tolerated, and this may be a Nokia the implementation of the greatest objective of this recall. Moreover, Nokia, the world is currently about 100 cases have been found batteries overheating, but there is no any serious personal injury or financial loss was reported.
Of course, we are also concerned that Nokia’s global recall of this position is not the boss would have an impact? Samsung has surpassed Motorola, will continue to advance? This may not be non-existent, but at least there are still more difficult. This is the original laptop ibm 02k6513 , ibm 02k6606 , ibm 02k6608 battery recall there are some differences. Is said that when Dell is due to trapped in the notebook computer battery recall, the market share for a certain influence, only to Hewlett-Packard surpassed jumped formed the world’s largest PC maker. The roots of Nokia in this regard and the PC market is different, it’s market dominance is not the slightest bit.
Early in August, IDC released a report showed the second quarter of this year, Nokia’s global mobile phone market is still on the boss. The second quarter of the global mobile phone makers sold a total of 272.7 million, representing an increase of 16.5% over the same period last year. Nokia’s market share of 37%, Samsung and Motorola’s market share of 13.7% and 13%, followed by Sony – Ericsson’s 9.1%, LG 7%. Nokia’s market share because of obvious advantages, so the impact of this recall should not be much to it. Although it is to pay a certain cost, but the change in market share that much. What’s more, Panasonic must recall this meeting so pay a certain fee.
A little far-reaching implications is that Nokia’s of this recall, Apple’s iPhone will not give a chance? Although not make Apple’s iPhone sales among the major mobile phone manufacturers the list, but it has prompted competitors to improve product design and user interface. Apple even allow handset manufacturers to mobile operators, dominance constitutes a greater challenge, because the marketing frenzy iPhone will help to force consumers to more mobile phone as a fashion product rather than ibm 02k6616 , ibm 02k6617 , ibm 02k6618 utility. At present, Apple’s iPhone has demonstrated a certain amount of sales Wang Shi, when Nokia’s trapped in the battery when the storm of this emerging handset manufacturers, is an opportunity. Of course, this opportunity can be magnified many times very difficult to say, after all, Apple’s iPhone’s market development strategy there is a great limitation. There is no doubt that the Nokia’s recall, it is hoped to make himself a stronger brand reputation and attractiveness of the market, after all, the world’s first mobile phone brand for nothing.
Battery Li-ion battery recall sweeping the IT industry for 15 years into a new generation universal predicament
Sony laptop battery recall incident a year later, a similar incident once again plagued Japanese home appliance businesses, the protagonist of this incident is Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., were recalled product is the cell phone lithium battery, this incident also shows that the battery industry is facing a The enormous challenge.
Recalled the most number of record industry’s
Nokia Tuesday announced that part of the Matsushita-made lithium-ion ibm 02k6620 , ibm 02k6640 , ibm 02k6644 batteries overheating problems, the company will take the initiative to recall these products and for the user to replace the battery, it is learned, and the recall of events up to 46 million mobile phone. It is not clear that the company would recall and replace the number of batteries, but the number of recalled Sony batteries are projected to more than four times higher than the incident has become the industry’s largest battery recall incident, together.
Since August last year, Dell announced that Sony held a large-scale production for notebook computer lithium-ion batteries, the battery industry has been plagued by such incidents. Almost all the major computer makers have announced and recall of Sony laptop batteries, while Sanyo Electric has recalled over mobile phone batteries and notebook batteries.
Battery recalls continue to occur on the one hand reflects the business-to-consumers more prudent and responsible attitude on the other hand also shows that the battery there are still many problems in production. Rechargeable lithium batteries in the past 15 years has been a laptop computer and cell phone industry, one important factor in the rapid development of lithium batteries is relatively cheap, light weight, environmental performance is good, much better than nickel-chromium batteries.
On the other hand, lithium battery current generated by larger, more complex manufacturing processes, heat and even easier to overheat, short circuit occurs when the consequences are more serious. Last year, some Sony laptop battery fire incidents have occurred. The recall Nokia Panasonic lithium ibm 02k6645 , ibm 02k6646 , ibm 02k6651 battery allegedly occurred because the battery charger overheating.
It hard to recall the aftermath of the incident
Mobile phone industry and the notebook computer industry’s rapid development has exceeded the pace of development of battery technology, product features but also increasingly improved battery performance higher and higher requirements.
Lithium battery incidents occur frequently prompted some manufacturers to take a more cautious attitude. Toyota hybrid vehicle delay in the use of lithium battery plan. Nevertheless, industry experts still believe that despite the limitations of lithium batteries, but in the foreseeable future, it is still the most practical battery technology.
Sony announced this week that the company will spend 97.6 million U.S. dollars in Singapore to build a cell phone battery manufacturing plant in order to consolidate its market share. The plant will use more advanced lithium-ion polymer technology, the factory is expected to be operational by August next year, the initial monthly production capacity will reach 1 million by 2010 will reach eight million. Toshiba’s ongoing efforts to develop alternative energy technologies, such as fuel cells, this ibm 02k6687 , ibm 02k6690 , ibm 02k6691 battery does not use chemicals, but the battery for commercial still have a long way to go.
Panasonic is currently the world’s four largest manufacturers of lithium batteries, the company said its the battery problem is generated in the manufacturing process. When used with an insulating layer to prevent short circuit damage occurs when the overheating arises. Nokia said that so far, Panasonic lithium battery overheating problem caused by only 100 cases were reported, but no serious injuries. However, Nokia will continue to take preventive measures to replace all the production date of December 2005 and November 2006 between the same origin as the Osaka battery.
Panasonic is expected to bear most of the costs to replace the battery is estimated to cost up to 170 million U.S. dollars. Affected by this news, yesterday in Tokyo Stock Exchange, Matsushita shares fell nearly 5 percent, to close at ¥ 2015.
Tianjin random electric bicycle batteries into the two substandard
To safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, promote sealed lead-acid battery electric bicycle industry, healthy development of the Tianjin Bureau of Quality Supervision Organization sealed lead-acid battery electric bicycle product quality supervision checks. A total of 19 random distribution unit sales of 19 manufacturers produce 19 batches of ibm 02k6699 , ibm 02k6740 , ibm 02k6741 products, results showed that: 16 batches of qualified, unqualified three batches, the product sample pass rate of 84.2%.
Spot checks found in the main quality issues:
First, the rate of capacity of individual products, two hours failed. 2 hours and the rate of the battery capacity is the key performance indicators, reflecting the batteries in normal use of the discharge time. Discharge time is short, then the electric car is also traveling a short distance. Standards require that electric bikes sealed lead-acid battery 2 hours the rate of capacity should be ≥ 100%. There are individual product sampling rate of 2 hours for 82% of capacity, up to standard requirements.
Second, low-temperature capacity of some of the products failed. Low-capacity related to the battery at low temperature environment using performance determines the condition of the battery used in the winter cold effects. There are three sample batches of low-temperature performance of substandard products, of which a minimum capacity of only 28.6% of rated capacity. The battery acid is mainly within the high density, viscosity increase, resulting in lower emissions of the ibm 02k6793 , ibm 02k6821 , ibm 02k7016 battery.
The poor quality spot checks are: the revitalization of the nominal power supply Limited suitable Singshih production of “Eagle” brand 6-DZM-14 Electric bikes sealed lead-acid battery, its capacity, low-temperature performance, two indicators of failure ; nominal kit for the Zhejiang Changxing Power Co., Ltd. can produce “special” brand 6-DZM-14-type sealed lead-acid batteries for electric bikes. Its capacity, low-temperature performance, two indicators of failure.
For the sample reflected the major quality problems, Tianjin Bureau of Quality Supervision in accordance with the Product Quality Law and other relevant laws and regulations, product quality spot checks of enterprises according to the law failed to address and a deadline for correction. At the same time, will continue to track the quality of the products samples to promote electric bikes sealed lead-acid battery industry as a whole level of quality continues to improve, and create confidence for consumers satisfied with the consumer ibm 02k7018 , ibm 02k7034 , ibm 02k7039 environment.
