Sony batteries by the way. Dell doesn't make their own stuff, just put others people together. Not really Dell's problem, Sony is behind the scenes getting Dell to do recall, instead of Dell just being like sony's batteries, there problem.
Dell is only going to lose money from a lil bad advice, Sony is paying for all the baterry replacements.
FYI.
