China-based computer maker Lenovo said Wednesday that it would recall more than 200,000 batteries manufactured by Sanyo and sold in its ThinkPad computers, including 100,000 sold in the United States. The recall covers ThinkPad machines sold between February 2005 and September 2006, spanning the time when Lenovo took over the production of ThinkPads and other PCs from IBM. The Lenovo takeover of the IBM PC line was finalized in May 2005, when regulators finally cleared the $1.25 billion deal.
