Oh dear...I wonder if HP are/were trying to cut corners and bought a few 'dodgy' ones off Ebay (or similar site).
Growing old is inevitable...But growing up is optional.

I'm pretty sure this is not the first time HP have had a recall for over heating batteries. If my memory serves me correctly I had a notification about 4 years ago for a ProBook battery check, but my laptop was outside the serial numbers affected.

Well my Dell laptop battery is one from eBay, seems to work and not caught fire yet.
Now you're all making me paranoid
I had to buy a new one, as the original died. 0% and wouldn't charge.
I don't know if it is true, but a friend told me it is probably made in the same factory.
Looks identical, minus the Dell logo. So if it is a copy it appears to be a good one (on the outside at least).
