Dell recalls 4million laptop batteries
August 25, 2006 | In: Batteries Powercells, General, Laptops Notebooks
Dell has announced to recall 4,1 million laptop batteries made by Sony because of security issues related with overheating which can cause… fire! Remember when a Dell laptop exploded on the Japan? That notebook was probably infected with serious overheating problems…
4,1 million batteries correspond to “about 15% of the batteries” sold by Dell between 2004 and 2006, which is the “dangerous period”.
