Dell Laptop Battery Recall

[Katie Reynolds]

I received this e-mail from one of my professors today - thought it might be of some interest to the Dell users on CD!

Hello,

Dell has issued another battery recall. Laptops and extra batteries purchased in the period from April 1, 2004 and July 18th, 2006 may be affected. As there are many people with University and individually owned laptops, EECN decided to email this to all its customers.

From the Dell web site:
Under rare conditions, it is possible for these batteries to overheat, which could pose a risk of fire.

--------------------------

Potentially affected batteries were sold with the following models of
Dell notebook computers or separately as secondary batteries:

Latitude: D410, D500, D505, D510, D520, D600, D610, D620, D800, D810
Inspiron: 500M, 510M, 600M, 700M, 710M, 6000, 6400, 8500, 8600, 9100, 9200, 9300, 9400, E1505, E1705
Precision: M20, M60, M70, M90
XPS: XPS, XPS Gen2, XPS M170, XPS M1710

Thanks for your attention in this matter.
