Dell Battery Return Program
Dell Battery Return Program
Dell has identified a potential issue associated with certain batteries sold with Dell Latitude™, Inspiron™, XPS™ and Dell Precision Mobile Workstation™ notebook computers. In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and other regulatory agencies, Dell is voluntarily recalling certain Dell-branded batteries with cells manufactured by Sony and offering free replacements for these batteries. Under rare conditions, it is possible for these batteries to overheat, which could pose a risk of fire.

there have been a bunch of stories on the internets as of late where this is happening, probably one of the reasons they actually did the recall.
So far we are 0/1 on the laptops at work
the scary thing is they are going to replace 4 million batteries, and they probably are only doing a precentage of total sales
I like dell laptops and all, but thats a crap-ton of laptops
oh, and “Dell Battery Return Program,” like its something exciting that you should want to be a part of, like the space program or something

You’re just upset yours hasn’t caught fire yet.
