[WriteLog] Big Dell Notebook Battery Recall

Wed Aug 16 00:54:33 EDT 2006

Don't place too much hope in the made in Korea - assembled in China label. 
The batteries were supposedly made by Sony, but Japanese manufacturers are 
also playing the outsourcing game! No telling where the Sony batteries were 
produced. I just purchased a replacement battery for my Compaq Presario 
laptop over the internet that was made in China. The first one wouldn't 
hold a charge and it took over a month to get the replacement delivered. So 
far so good, but I don't think I'll leave it unattended in the laptop!
