Rubbish Sony batteries catch on fire

Poor old Dell is having to recall just about every laptop battery it's made in the last two years thanks to rubbish Sony not knowing how to make batteries properly.

"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."

(We added the bold and capitals there, as an additional safety measure to you, our important readers).

THE ENTIRE DELL RANGE THAT'S AFFECTED:

* Latitude: D410, D500, D505, D510, D520, D600, D610, D620, D800, D810

ASSOCIATE 'SONY' WITH 'HOUSEHOLD FIRE'
Batteries have existed for over 100 years and everyone knows how to make them properly so they don't catch on fire. Apart from Sony, whose batteries CATCH ON FIRE. So don't buy anything made by Sony, in case it catches ON FIRE, killing you, your loved ones, and even your pets.
