The battery I bought works perfect. I paid less than $20. I highly recommend them. I bought a new power cord too.

I got this for my Dell Inspiron 1525 and it only charged once to 100%, after that it would charge a bit but would not charge all the way. As of now the battery is sitting at 0% and won't charge. I've had the battery for about a week now.

My new battery says exactly the same as you have described: Dell, J1KND, 11.1v, 48WH. Have had it for 3 months- fully charged is 3 hours.Happy with my purchase.Pat

I have that same computer and it says you need a 90W battery. You dont' have to get it from Dell, Anker's works just fine for mine as a replacement.

Yes, I have the Dell Inspiron 1520. I just received the battery today, and it came with a 85 percent charge on it. I plugged it in to fully charge it, and it stopped at 99 percent. Time will tell if this thing works, and holds a charge

The description said that it was compatible. It seats perfectly and the only difference between the replacement and the Dell Brand battery I have is that it is a larger one. At the time I bought this battery I also purchased a new charger because I was getting a message to the effect of "Battery will not charge." I noticed in a previous review at the time I made my purchase, another customer with a similar Dell model number had the same issue as I do now. I wrongfully assumed that he/she did not install it properly or was just a complainer because many other reviews seemed to be satisfied. The description said that it was compatible.

We have a dell inspiron, but it is a 1545. When we first got the battery, things went great but now it won't charge or show that it is charging. Don't know if it is the PC or the battery, so we are back to leaving it plug in all the time again.

I purchased a battery for my same laptop but was very dismayed that, while it fit perfectly, my laptop didn't accept it. Each time I turned on my laptop it would give me an error message. Sure, my laptop worked but the battery had less than 1 hour time on a full charge. In the end I went with an actual Dell battery. I wished I had read all of the reviews so that I could've saved time.

I did as well, and it did the same exact thing. Mine only lasted for a couple of months. I asked a tech at Best Buy and he said the best place to get a battery is through the manufacturer, which is so expensive we are better off buying a new laptop.

Well I would try to get the exact one...The first one I got for my wifes didn't work....and had to reorder...did you enter the computer # on line for the battery replacement...I had to do this a couple of times...should be around $21.00....joe

If you are looking for an External battery charger, then I went ahead and bought this: External Battery Charger for Dell Inspiron 1525, 1526, 1545 Series Laptop BatterySold by Top Power The first one that came was damaged but it only took a matter of an email and a phone call before they sent me a brand new one- no shipping fee incurred on my behalf. Its a great battery- I just ordered another 9 cell to charge while the other one is in use. Hope this was relevant

When I received this battery I put it in my laptop and it would not charge!!!I emailed Tec support and asked them what I should do? To say the least they wound up giving me credit for the battery & I didn't have to send it back to them. ( they was not sure what to do!!) I have heard that Dell makes it so you have to buy from them so it is way more expensive then the battery in question!!! Not a happy camper here....!!!!!

Very bad, untill I don't find a battery for this computer, and the cost for the ideapad 405 batteries it's more espensive that $50. I am very sad with this.

My experience was this summer but I received a note next day saying they were sending me a non-Dell battery. When I griped they said they were changing their listing, which they obviously never did. I had them cancel the order. Unless something has changed it was not a Dell battery.

Totally agreed!!! so I'm planning to buy the spare battery...I think Amazon needs to correct the misleading information regarding the specification of UL30A!!

Unless it's the original battery or purchased directly from Dell it won't be covered by Dell. I work in the computer field and in general most batteries are warranted for 1 year.

Sorry, I don't have a clue , but I've noticed that the battery I bought (about 3 months ago) from the same seller, it's performance started 2 days ago to decrease it keeps my dell 15r up for only 50 minus after full charge!
