DELL

The problem that has been detected with these batteries hints at a certain metal contamination within the battery packs. Excessive pressure exerted causes the metal to perforate the insulation, giving way to a short thereby overheating the battery. In exceptional cases, shorts can result in fires. The recall involving batteries fabricated by Sony Corp. could cost the company about $400 million. As part of the damage control measures, Dell has already made a special website giving details of faulty batteries. The defamed list of notebook PCs includes models from the Latitude Series; the Inspiron Series; the XPS Series and the Precision Series. The recall has been recorded as the largest ever in the history of the consumer electronics industry. It’ll certainly deter the efforts of both companies to build back the demand for their products.
