The problem with the affected Li-Ion batteries were that foreign matter (metal flakes) had, somehow, made their way in the cells during the manufacturing process, which is a very serious defect.
The danger is that the foreign object can pierce through the cell barriers and cause an internal short circuit, which causes the cell to overheat.
This triggers a runaway thermal event that causes all the cells to become overheated and explode.
fucking japs :p
The batteries were made by SONY, which if I account correctly is Japanese.
I wonder if the Asuse EEE batteries will have any problems? Because I have an EEE 1000
Dell is going down now lol
Hello ..
more dell computers collect the powerfull devices were they need more current from battery . So, this may made the resistant up & heat goes up from batteries can be exploding when set all devices to high performance ….
it all comes from “the factory in china”
even we where made there
I own a 1420 dell laptop, i hope nothing goes wrong!!!
Doesn’t matter what brand you get , don’t blame it on Dell.
It’s about the Li-ion battery (made by sony , used by a lot)
Seems there’s a problem with the particles , causing a short circuit.
If it heats up too quick , it’s having a problem. get it replaced asap.
wow im glad i got a campaq. i also take the battery out when i dont need it so that i use ac. becuase bitch
My Dell Inspiron 1501 owns.
Hey dells really are junk. the more oem parts a PC or notebook uses the better. they are good but dont expect anything special from the support. as well as that lets say all their parts are good but their motherboards suck. dont get me wrong they are a good price and half the time u get lucky and dont get a lemon
Dells are fine computers. ‘Oh god it uses a few OEM parts, it must suck’ Only asshole ‘l33t’ kids and people who hate success bash dell. And the port melted because it wasnt pressed in all the way or was jiggling and arc’d
I made the mistake of buying a Dell notebook, and 2 years later, the soldering on the recharge port melted away, leaving it loose. I can’t even recharge the piece of shit anymore.
You couldn’t pay me to buy a Dell. That’s how bad they are. Just cheap pieces of plastic that deserve to be set on fire.
You do know that Dell laptops are made in Asia, where all laptops are made, right? Even the battery, which is from Japan.
Also, my Dell has not exploded. Yet.
yes they did
american made junk
SONY lol
that former dell employee not only will ever get a job at a dell again but also any other computer company either. noone wants a rat in their company. companies have enough rats in them they dont know how to deal with.
haha nice
AHAH!!! good shit
