Dell Inc said the market was experiencing a shortage of laptop batteries partly because of a recent fire at a major supplier, but the company was working with other suppliers to limit any price increases.
Dell also said prices of its separately sold batteries used as replacements or for surplus power had gone up because of the shortage cause by fire at LG Chem in March.
LG Chem is the second biggest South Korean battery maker. The fire contributed to a worldwide battery shortage that could affect up to 40 percent of second-quarter shipments at Asustek Computer, Taiwan's No. 2 PC maker, an Asustek executive told Reuters earlier on Tuesday.
