Well, from what I can tell Sony Issued a bad series of batteries which want into Dell and apple laptops. Both companies have issued recalls in the last two weeks. I would imagine that anything with a sony battery, manufactured in the last three years might be prone to this issue of overheating.

then again, you might be refering to something else .

Anyone that buys anything Dell in the first place isn't exactly a smart consumer, sorry to all of you out there


Oh and Laura, what are you on about? Li-ions don't hold a memory. They're like cellphone batteries. Charge them often, very often. If possible don't go below 40% capacity. This will prolong the life to ridiculous ends, like my 5GB iPod from 2001, which is still going strong.


CHARGE YOUR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES (IN CELLPHONES AND IPODS) OFTEN, ANYBODY THAT TELLS YOU THAT THEY HAVE A MEMORY EFFECT IS A STUPID LIAR Laura isn't a liar, that's just what Apple (liars) told her.

the new mac products are having a shit load of problems.
one of my girlfriends just got a new macbook and it turns out the fan's weren't turning on and she started smelling burning plastic.
turns out the temperature sensors weren't working.

i also remember the 17" powerbooks being messed up during their first gen.

anyway, lithium ion bat's should be charged as often as possible.
here's some more info on it.
