Started usage in Dec. of 2012. Just today--10/20/14--I got a pop-up message saying the battery was near the end of its useful life. It has been used on a daily basis for the most part--been a great battery.

Sorry about the delay. I have had mine over a a year. I think something was wrong with my dell so this battery never worked from from the beginning. But the customer service was fantastic though, they sent me a couple of replacements just could not use them. Hope this helps

Yes, we do. Please confirm that there is "-' sign on the left hand side and "+" sign on the right hand side of the female socket of this battery if the Dell logo is facing up and the female socket of the battery facing you.Best regardsBill

The battery I got worked for 2 weeks then quit charging. It was from Tech Rover, and they promised to honor the warranty, but despite my repeated requests after I shipped it back, they never did. I ended up ordering a more expensive one from Dell, but at least it has worked. I notice that this one is not shipped by Tech Rover. Hope this helps.

I purchased this battery for my Dell laptop and it came with all the same Dell logos and marks as the original. It has been working great even was recognized by the OS as a new battery and reset the annoying pop-up about the life of the battery has ended blah blah blah.

I think it is. I was not sure if it was when I bought it. But, so far comparing to the replacement battery that I got before this one that wasn't Dell brand, it has been working really well.

Its been a while sense i last looked at it, and it is in my daughters laptop. I believe it is a after market battery, but it has fit as if it was a Dell and for a whole lot less. but if anyone wants to spend the extra money for a real Dell don't let me stop you.

I have had this battery for over a year now. It use to stay charged for approximately 2 hours under heavy use. One thing I have done lately that has actually extended the charge to 30 - 45 minutes longer, is replace the old hard drive with a solid state hard drive. This has also breathed new life into the laptop to make it like a new one again. It is twice as fast after I added the maximum RAM and solid state drive. Cheaper than buying a new laptop.

Are you sure this particular batter is compatible with you model of Dell?I had no problems with mine. You may also try reinstalling the battery. When I tried to install the first time I didn't get the battery seated properly. Beyond that I am at a loss.

The battery i bought is labeled Dell and it fits and powers the laptop up, but since i put it in the machine has been freezing up. The only way to get it going again has been to take the battery out and reboot. It could be a total coincidence, but the problem started when the battery was switched out. But, i needed a new battery to use it at all so i didnt have much choice. I know this is not perfect advice, but it is all i can offer.

I don't know. I only know that it is a Dell battery and was exactly what my laptop required. I think there's a year warranty but not sure. Sorry I'm now more help. I was thrilled to find it at such a good price and it was brand new.

I don't know, my problem is apparently not the battery but a flaw in the circuitry that should uses power but notifies me that the battery is low. The new battery didn't change anything and after talking to Dell I resolved to never buy another Dell product.

Not sure how long it lasts but if you own a Dell don't use this battery. Started having problems with my laptop shutting down for no apparent reason and the computer tech advised to get rid of the battery. Now my laptop is fine.

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????

Yes it is. Popped the old Dell original battery (about three or four years old) and popped in this one. Just be aware that this battery (9 cell) is larger, depth wise, than the original (6 cell). So, your computer sits up about a half inch in the back. Others mentioned that if one is concerned about the laptop depth being exactly flat, this adds an extra 1/2" of depth. I like it because it allows for better air flow and I notice that the fan runs less, so less noise and less heat build-up. I very much like the extra charging capacity. If you do the charge - discharge to 7% - recharge cycle three times the resultant battery life is a few hours (depending on usage) rather than a couple of hours (depending on usage) with the OEM battery. In short (or a little long) I'd buy another one in an instant if I needed one. Way less than Dell wants for a six cell.
