Dell Computer on Friday announced the company has begun a voluntary recall of around 27,000 batteries used in a variety of Dell notebook computers. The batteries can potentially short-circuit, heat up very quickly, and begin to smoke or even catch fire.

Dell purchased the faulty batteries from Sanyo Electric, one of three battery suppliers to the Round Rock, Texas-based computer maker, said Dell spokesperson T.R. Reid.

According to Reid, the batteries can possibly ignite even when the system they are being used in is turned off.
