I just put this battery in a dell 1950 and openmanage reads it RED criticle and the Dell remote Drac reads it as weak. Charge time? or is it dead?

Typical charge time from fully drained is about 3 hours. If it doesn't clear during that time, the battery is bad. I ordered 2 of these, both had old manufacturing dates, so they are most likely used and were pulled from recycled units. I powered down both servers (2x 2950), installed both batteries, powered up the servers and the ROMB errors were instantly cleared.

I ordered four batteries from this seller and two were bad and I returned them. I got with Dell since my servers are still under warranty and they had me run a log report from DSM and look at the absolute state of charge of the battery. If it is below 30%, the server will report it as failed (red "X"). If it was charging, you would get the yellow "!". Despite the listing, these batteries are not new. They may be unused, but they are not new.

Hello, Naser. chances are, like me, you got a "reconditioned" battery, and not a brand new one from Toshiba directly, correct? As I had found out, after about a year from purchase, my Toshiba battery would only hold about 90 minutes of a charge, so I went to Amazon, and got a replacement. I was thrilled when I first charged it up and got over 3 hours of battery life! After 3-4 months, however, it dropped to less than an hour! I complained to the company here in CA. and was told that it was a reconditioned battery, which means that it is not as good as an original! If you want to pay over $100.00 for a new battery, contact Toshiba directly, but even they will not guarantee their batteries either! Sorry for your problems! Greg Stone

I can tell you that the battery is probably refurbished. I fit, although not completely flush like the original. When I first received the battery it held a charge for about an hour and a half, but now that it is several months old it lasts maybe an hour. This battery is a good bargain if you are not looking for hours of battery time. My mac tells me to "service battery" meaning that it probably is not functioning normally or about its behavior to hold a charge. The caveat is that we get what we pay for.

Hi Zach! I wonder if you bought it and if it works for Dell 5010. I need to replace my battery and I use 5010. Thanks

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....!!!!!

No, it's not a Dell battery. As far as holding a charge, I get less than my original dell battery. I have to recharge the battery approximately every 90mins. I should have just purchased the battery from Dell.

There may be two separate issues with the system. You may have had a bad power supply from the beginning, and the new replacement battery cant get a charge from the faulty power supply any better than the original. My Dell 6400 did put-up the message about not recognizing the battery, but the battery works and recharges fine in spite of the message.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525. I bought my battery for this type of computer. I also ordered a new charger as well, It works great after I charged my computer for 24 hrs. You may need to buy another charger. Did you charge yours????

I have a different computer model. I called Dell direct and read them the model numbers off the computer. They told me the exact replacement parts I needed. My recommendation is call Dell first, then order the part. I purchased this battery and it worked for three days. I notified the company and they sent a replacement battery that day. It has worked great ever since the second one arrived. Good Luck!

According to information printed on the brown box I received, my battery came from Hong Kong but it does have the Dell logo on the side of the battery. I have no idea if it is an OEM battery or not but I imagine Dell would get pretty upset if someone was selling batteries with the Dell logo on them that were not from Dell. I almost sent it back because it would not "wake up" after hibernation mode. I would have to remove and replace the battery each time. So, I just stopped it from hibernating. It seems to hold a good charge and I am generally pleased with it. I was going to sell my laptop and didn't want to sell it with a dead battery so I opted for one less expensive than OEM from Dell but more expensive than the $25.00 knock-offs. Hope this helps.

I have the same computer and i bought this battery. It worked well for about a month and then crash, the computer stop recogniizing it. I end up buying the original from Dell and although was a little more expensive I did not have any problem since then.

This battery failed me miserably. I charged it exactly as the manufacturer stated in the directions. It held a charge for normal computer use for about 2 hours. Now a few months later, I can only get about 1 hour of use before it dies.

The battery I received here is marked 7800 milli Amp Hour, and should be the correct one I asked for. The only way to know for sure if is what is printed on the battery is a standard load test. a problem for most to perform. I usually trust what is printed unless performs poorly in the machine. my past experience is usually good to what is printed. good luck, I felt I got what I asked for.

They arrive with instructions to charge them overnight without turning your computer on, then use until the battery had drained. I followed the directions implicitly. In the beginning it appeared to have worked. But each time it seemed to charge less and less until it finally didn't take a charge at all. The seller was willing to refund my money if I paid to mail it back. I suggest you buy a Dell battery rather than buying an unreliable wannabe.
