Dell Recalls 4.1 Million Batteries

More bad news for Dell. They are recalling 4.1 million laptop batteries.

A Dell spokesman said the Sony batteries were placed in notebooks that
were shipped between April 1, 2004, and July 18 of this year.


"In rare cases, a short-circuit could cause the battery to
overheat, causing a risk of smoke and/or fire," said the spokesman, Ira
Williams. "It happens in rare cases, but we opted to take this broad action
immediately."


Just another case of poor quality of Dell's products. They cut costs to the bone and hope their batteries don't catch fire.
