    Default Dell battery recall

    Dell has recalled aprox 4 million laptop batteries made by SONY.

    https://www.dellbatteryprogram.com/

    According to the reports, there were 6 (six) instances of these batteries bursting into flames.

    How does this happen? Why recall 4 million units when just 6 had any problem?

    Any techies out there know whats going on? :sick0010:

    Well if 6 burst into flames, there could be a design flaw, or a production fault.
    Bottom line is that Dell would be liable so they have to recall.

    The battery short circuits, which causes huge bubbles of hydrogen to form.
    It then releases a HUGE spark that ignites it and bang. Explosion.
