Not sure where this needed to be posted or if it had been. Maybe it could be a sticky for a while too.

Wow! The ultimate "burn-in" !!
I have a 6 y.o. Dell Inspiron 5000 that also had a battery recall for essentially the same problem. Not only did Dell handle that with overnight service/no hassle return (put the return into the same box, relabel it with the provided label, and call an 800-number for a pick-up), but they gave us an additional battery and a $30 credit for our "trouble". The newer batteries also had a higher mA/hr capacity, IIRC. I'm still using both of them 5 years later, tho' their capacity has diminished a good bit. I hope they treat the current customers just as well, but with 4+ million to recall, that's a tall order...!
