My batteries are all dated 2003, so I'm OK, but I know at least one Dell owner here who is likely to be affected.

I saw this earlier. After doing some checking we've got about 80 batteries that need to be replaced.

Yeah, I got this through work and they're going to have a lot of affected batteries. I was pretty much the first person to get a D-series laptop in our office (paid for myself), and several people saw it and ordered one through work. They're now pretty much standard issue for anyone who needs a laptop.

Got the email this morning. Unclear how many we have to replace, but we've got lots of D800/D810's knocking about :/

I haven't got a problematic Dell (my Dell's too old to know about working, let alone batteries

), but dad's might be. Thanks for the heads up, and I know the latter part of my sentence makes zero gramatical sense and that I'm making spellibg errors

We have a hell of a lot of Dell lappys here, got one at home too I will have to check, but touchwood (

) we arent affected.

Any laptops bought since April 1, 2004 stand a good chance of being affected.

Just checked mine.

Thankfully, my battery isn't one of the affected ones.

Thanks for the PM Mark

4.1 MILLION batteries are expected to be replaced!

Got more than a few to do myself...
