So, I just recall-checked my laptop batteries.

4 - HP ZV5000 and Compaq R3000-series laptop batteries (1 of the 5 that I own was not recalled)
3 - Assorted Dell batteries (I still have several more)
1 - Macbook Pro battery


And as an added slap to Apple, I'm also taking my oldass iBook to the Apple Store and making good on this mobo recall I never knew about.

Where can I recall check my batteries?

MFG's website. Dell has a big fat notice on the front page, search for "recall" on hp's website for HP/Compaq, and Apple's recalls are at http://www.apple.com/support/ on the sidebar under "Exchanges and extensions" (mac-speak for recall, apparently)

If it's a Dell laptop, go to http://www.dellbatteryprogram.com

Put them in a microwave oven for fast charging. 😀

This Dell battery recall is a real pain in the ass. I have laptops scattered all over the country and really need to look them up by service tag and Dell doesn't make that easy.

On the Dell & Apples; have the user look at the battery.

If the battery is not by Sony (Most have a JPN stmap on the label); then they are safe. If the battery is by Sony; have the user notify you with the SN#.

Let the users do the legwork.
