Nokia offers replacements for Nokia-BL-C5 batteries manufactured by Matsushita

Nokia said it will offer a free-of-charge replacements for its Nokia BL-5C batteries, manufactured by Japan's Matsushita Battery Industrial Co., Ltd between December 2005 and November 2006.

The handset maker issued a product advisory for these particular batteries after around 100 incidents of over-heating were reported globally.

'In very rare cases the Nokia (nyse: NOK - news - people )-branded BL-5C batteries subject to the product advisory could potentially experience overheating initiated by a short circuit while charging, causing the battery to dislodge,' Nokia said.

The advisory applies to 46 mln batteries of the total 300 mln batteries produced by Matsushita and used in Nokia's devices.

Nokia said it understands the issue does not affect any other use of the mobile device.
