Actually the sticker was on the inside and "there is no need for replacement"

Bump for the weekday crew. We have thousands of Dell Laptops at work. THis should be lots of fun.

Makes me wish we had a better asset tracking system in place... Let the fun begin!

Oh Gawd...this is going to be a nightmare. We've got loads of D610s and 600Ms here at work.

We have everything tracked but I don't think they have the abttery serial numbers tracked anywhere. I just sent out an email to our building distro list so we'll see what happens.

sigh.. misleading... you should add this:

Dell sold these batteries with the notebook computers, as part of a service replacement, and as individual units on its Web site and catalogs from October 5, 2004 through October 13, 2005. The computers with these batteries sold for between $900 and $2,650, and individual batteries sold for between $99 and $179.

only a few batteries are afected
