londoneye Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Just for information.As my Dell laptop battery has died a death (after 18 months) I logged to the Dell UK site, and noticed a section on battery recall. It seems there is a chance (very slight I am sure !!) that some of their batteries installed in laptops between certain dates might catch fire.Anyway I followed the instructions and after running the details of my battery through the form, it seems mine is one such. To be honest, I think mine has died a natural death, but the upshot is that I am now going to be provided with a free replacement, and being of a natural tight-wad disposition, this has made my day.Might be worth checking a. if you are worried, and b. if you are needing to buy a new battery in near future.Hope this hasn't been posted before, I did search, but couldn't find. If it has apologies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

londoneye Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Yes it is, it is Sony made batteries they are recalling.I have received email to say my new battery has been despatched though, so rather selfishly it has been somewhat advantageous for me, as I never knew there was anything wrong with the other one anyway (before it died).
