Dell has identified a potential issue associated with certain batteries sold with Dell Latitude™, Inspiron™, XPS™ and Dell Precision Mobile Workstation™ notebook computers. In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and other regulatory agencies, Dell is voluntarily recalling certain Dell-branded batteries with cells manufactured by Sony and offering free replacements for these batteries. Under rare conditions, it is possible for these batteries to overheat, which could pose a risk of fire.

When batteries external short circuit, and electronic components are unable to cut off the circuit, the internal batteries will have high fever, causing vaporization of the electrolyte, the battery shell shoring. When the battery to a high internal temperature of 135 degrees Celsius, the divide of good quality paper, will be fine-mesh closed electrochemical reaction termination or near termination, a sharp fall in current, temperature slowly dropped, thereby avoiding the explosion occurred. However, the closure rate of fine-mesh bad, or fine-mesh fundamental divide will not be closed paper, battery temperature will continue to rise, more vaporization electrolyte, the battery shell Chengpo final, or even to increase the battery temperature combustion and explosion of materials.
