Follow the above link to Dell and get the full details. Replacement if appropriate, should be free by exchange.
Not sure if this affects UK sold items or just US but it may help someone. :xmassign:

My battery code is F5132 apparently one of the affected codes, but the dell link is saying there is no need for a replacement0

The battery code is just a part number. For example there are a huge number of batteries sold by Dell with that part number.
However it was only a relatively small percentage which could produce a hazard so are being recalled. Probably about 1%.
The checker you input the full serial number in to confirms whether your battery was part of the faulty batch or not, by the sounds of things yours is fine.

Yes, that's because in the USA they pose a fire risk but in the UK they don't. Our jellyfish government has flimsy regulations meaning that although not allowed in the USA, it's fine in the UK.That, is an excellent question...0

Meybe our goverment is s***. Dell are not asking where we live, There only asking for the part number. When you submit the imformation they dont know where it is sent from. So when they tell you that your battery is not affected it isn't.Myosin wrote:Yes, that's because in the USA they pose a fire risk but in the UK they don't.
