For Safety reasons, Sony has recalled notebook batteries it sold to Hewlett-Packard / Compaq, Toshiba and Dell between 2004 to 2006.

The Consumer Products Safety Commission estimates about 35,000 of the batteries were sold as to U.S. clients.   While overheating to the point of fire is not common, it is best to recall all the batteries for safety reasons.   The good news, (if you still have a house standing) is that the batteries are probably dead by now so you'll be getting a new battery for being a risk taker.

The batteries in question are -
Hewlett-Packard
Pavilion: dv1000, dv8000 and zd8000
Presario: v2000, v2400
Compaq: nc6110, nc6120, nc6140, nc6220, nc6230, nx4800, nx4820, nx6110, nx6120, nx9600

Toshiba
Satellite: A70/A75, P30/P5, M30X/M35X, M50/M55
Tecra: A3, A5, S2

Dell
