Thanks Trotter, I will check out those sites.
I know it seems like we just cant get away from cheap products. Dell acually told me the battery was defective and it damaged all of my componants and I did not feel comfortible working on the hardware and did not have the proper tools anyway, so I sent the laptop to Dell and all parts were replaced. I feel that I was better off purchasing a newer model like the two in one touch hybrid bendable laptop with an SSD, Optane memory type. This paticular model of Dell is blazing fast and still works like new four years later!
All replacement laptop batteries are made in China no? I'd like to see one that is not of a Chinese origin.
I did say that EVERYTHING is made in China these days which is a bit of an exageration I will admit. But certainly batteries are, including Dell's. The difference, hopefully, is that Dell check their chinese components for safety, at least, hopefully.
I trust Dell. I believe every large enterprize system will have defective products from time to time and recalls. Im sure they probably did check the safety of their componants and all but I think the inncident probably did not occur during testing and made it into the hands of consumers before any damage occured like me. Just my luck.
