Folks. If you have a dell notebook check the battery as Dell are recalling some. See https://www.dellbatteryprogram.com/Default.aspx

Dear Dell Customer,


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.

Potentially affected batteries were sold with the following models of Dell notebook computers or separately as secondary batteries:

Latitude: D410, D500, D505, D510, D520, D600, D610, D620, D800, D810
Inspiron: 500M, 510M, 600M, 700M, 710M, 6000, 6400, 8500, 8600, 9100, 9200, 9300, 9400, E1505, E1705
Precision: M20, M60, M70, M90

Thats an absolutely cracking deal. I paid £330 for a celeron M just three months ago and Im considering flogging it on ebay and getting this one instead.

There's going to be a lot of orders going in for this laptop now the words out. Excellent for those needing it for educational needs. Best price/spec going in my opinion.

cheers

I would say the 6 cell is a must, the xp cd can be got after for free by asking dell nicely as mentioned earlier

Damn good deal, wish I had £300 spare to get one.

MJR600 Why? I am not scaremongering just stating a fact that some batteries are being recalled. Check out Dell website for yourself before making comments like that!

A member of my family has a Dell with a dodgy battery. How can that be scaremongering.

Streeet

mjr600, I dont believe its scaremongering.. its FACT!

However ukpotters.. I would hardly believe Dell would sell new laptop with these defective batteries!!
