It is *not* dependent on the laptop manufacturer- the batteries have been incorrectly produced Sonys.  In addition to Sony and Dell, Lenovo and Apple have also had recalls.<br><br>It has nothing to do with notebook build quality.  This is probably more a reflection on the market sizes of the Dell, Sony, etc, comapared to the miniscule market size of a specialist maker like Alienware.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jeff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 14th 2006 2:57AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The stages of an exploding laptop battery]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/the-stages-of-an-exploding-laptop-battery/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/the-stages-of-an-exploding-laptop-battery/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well...

Lithium-ion batteries are kinda volatile when oxygen combines with the lithium in the battery; the combination of the two creates a massive build up of heat. They're also rather unsafe if heated up.<br><br>I'm not explaining it in the best way but thats basically why all laptop batteries are potentially hazardous if they're mistreated or not manufactured properly. In Sony's case, it was small metal particles in the batteries left over from manufacture that created a short circuit, and then the chain reaction.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[louis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 14th 2006 2:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The stages of an exploding laptop battery]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/the-stages-of-an-exploding-laptop-battery/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/the-stages-of-an-exploding-laptop-battery/</guid><description><![CDATA[The scientific validity of this demonstration is negligible. I don't think that's what they were going for anyway. It's just a demonstration of how the "exploding laptop" process proceeds. The method that they used to induce the explosion and flare-up (namely, putting the laptop on a hot plate) would cause most sealed-casing batteries (not just laptop batteries) to explode or otherwise rupture and leak nasty chemicals. Real laptop battery failures are caused by a number of variables being met as a result of manufacturing defects (or poor design), operating conditions of the computer and other stochastic variables that can't be predicted.<br><br>See <a href="http://computer.howstuffworks.com/dell-battery-fire.htm" rel="nofollow">http://computer.howstuffworks.com/dell-battery-fire.htm</a> for an explanation of what's going on within these exploding batteries.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ThisIsNo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 14th 2006 2:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The stages of an exploding laptop battery]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/the-stages-of-an-exploding-laptop-battery/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/the-stages-of-an-exploding-laptop-battery/</guid><description><![CDATA[Holy crapinolie!

Lithium-ion batteries are kinda volatile when oxygen combines with the lithium in the battery; the combination of the two creates a massive build up of heat. They're also rather unsafe if heated up.<br><br>I'm not explaining it in the best way but thats basically why all laptop batteries are potentially hazardous if they're mistreated or not manufactured properly. In Sony's case, it was small metal particles in the batteries left over from manufacture that created a short circuit, and then the chain reaction.<br><br>-----------<br><br><a href="http://www.downloadwarez.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.downloadwarez.org</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Full Downloads]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 4th 2007 6:30PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The stages of an exploding laptop battery]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/the-stages-of-an-exploding-laptop-battery/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/the-stages-of-an-exploding-laptop-battery/</guid><description><![CDATA[Will having a Firewall protect me from this?<br><br><br>--------------<br><br><a href="http://www.downloadwarez.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.downloadwarez.org</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Full Downloads]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 4th 2007 6:32PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
