Page 2 of 2 Sony uses Lithium Ion batteries containing Cobalt Oxide,
which under certain circumstances can lead to overheating in a process
called thermal runaway if short occurs inside the battery due to
faulty manufacturing.
Lithium Ion batteries are now widely used in
portable devices from digital cameras to notebooks because of their
ability to store large amounts of power in small packages. The
batteries with Cobalt Oxide have the best storage properties of all
Lithium Ion batteries. However, alternative Lithium Ion products with
less volatile properties but slightly less storage capacity are
available. {moscomment}
