Apparently Sony makes the Battery but Dell is taking all the PR hit.

Yes. Makes me wonder about the Sony batteries I've got scattered around the place for various equipment.

Mark · 15-08-2006, 22:26

For the benefit of those who've not seen the 'exploding Dell'...

Just wish that had happened to one of my customers

Apparently the number of batteries we need to get replaced now stands at 153 and we've still got the offices in Italy to check.

We got the warning and were lumbered with notifying users (we have hundreds of D500/D505 etc). So I check my trusty D800 with my fancy extra long life battery..... replacement required

boo hoo

My boss asked if I would like a fire proof suit, could I not leave the battery in as they wanted to see what would happen!! meanies

Just point 'em at the above pictures.

Hope you're all done getting your Dell/Apple/Toshiba batteries sorted...

I think all of our Dell batteries have been replaced now.
