Don't know if this has been posted before, if so then I apologise. I found it today whilst researching the prices of laptop batteries.

Whilst this is a demonstration and as such it is staged, it does show the importance of only using well designed and built Batteries. For me it's a good reason to avoid cheap knockoff's :eek4:
3years ago Dell recalled 100,000+ batteries due to fire risk, I believe Sony did the same.
I remember that, and I think that makes it even more sensible to buy "branded" because if the big names can get it wrong, what chance the knockoffs :dunno:
:eek4:
My laptop battery contains 9 cells !!!
Unfortunately it's quite old now and doesn't retain its charge for very long but a genuine Dell replacement is £117.
It was a major blow for Sony, as, apparently, they also supplied many other manufacturers.
