From what I have read, Oz is simply where the first instances where this problem has been detected. The battery packs are usable over many different model types, and one would be wise to check to see if one of the model types listed was usable in a different country’s imported models, since they are applicable in so very many instances.
Shutting down.
Preparing to dig into my Toshiba Laaaaaaaa...
Oh, I should add: while different model types can be specifically tailored for specific countries, the battery packs manufactured are not subjected to any such specialization.
A 16V 8Ah battery with a specific pinout will work on any generic version of the model it is designed for. A model designated “Latitude 6410a” or a “Latitude 6410d” or a “Latitude 6410eRevC” can be specifically designed for certain areas/countries...
But the battery packs that power them are identical.
Plus, similar battery packs work across many different model types, although sometimes with differing Amp/Hour ratings or sometimes minor cosmetic differences.
As long as the pinout is the same.
