Mine's not made in China

Seriously, though, it is not fair to blame Dell for batteries supplied by what is generally considered a very reputable vendor. Sony has long been considered the Toyota of electronics. Blame them for not keeping up their reputation. Also, the reliability reports I have seen do not show a statistically significant difference in reliability between makes of laptop.
