An official ACCC notice concerns Rechargeable Batteries for AMX MVP-5000 Series Touch Panels. AMX has learned that these batteries can overheat, which could pose a risk of fire. Published 2010-01-05.

What to do now

Consumers will be contacted by mail. Any 5000 Series Wireless Touch Panel (5100, 5150, 5200i) showing evidence of a swollen battery, including signs of bulging of the touch panel enclosure or “haloing” or other distortion in the display, should be immediately returned to the AMX for replacement of the unit. For any touch panel showing signs of a swollen battery, the end user should immediately discontinue use and remove the panel from charging. Recharging a swollen battery, mishandling a swollen battery or compression of a unit with a charged swollen battery may cause the battery to rupture which has the potential risk for damage or injury.
