    Whether you will get your battery recalled or not? Can't say for sure. But if you have an affected battery pack your just as equally screwed.

    Hi Yes i seen that.

    So my intention is not to Mislead you on that. Simply providing the link for people who own HP Laptops to check their battery.

    damn it, the battery on my hp laptop just went dead yesterday, was hoping mine would be in the recall so i could get a new one free but no:( ....
    do ye think an extended warranty would cover a battery dying? i've only had it a year and a half should the battery really be dead already?

    Extended warranties generally don't cover the battery as it is considered a consumable.
