Dell set to recall even more batteries

RELIABLE SOURCES said mass recalls of batteries for notebooks will continue to shock the industry for many years to come. But a mass recall of batteries for Dell notebooks is likely this coming week, we understand.

In the past couple of years, the industry has witnessed a recall of over 15 million batteries for notebooks, and the number certainly won't stop there. The latest manufacturer set to make a further recall this Tuesday is Dell, my sources claim.

While the number isn't finalised yet, it's a big number, our source claims. Dell is prepping all of the sales and marketing people "to battle stations", so that the switch goes smoothly and without negative publicity.

According to my source, the announcement, slated for Tuesday, is based on the pure physics of battery cells in notebooks. I will have more on this anon. Dell was not available at press time to comment. µ
