There does not seem to be a good alternative to buying a new battery from Dell. While their batteries cost about $200 (shipping included), at least Dell batteries perform up to their specification…for a year…before they go dead. If I had known this about Dell beforehand, I might not have been so quick to buy a laptop from them.
I ordered an AGPTEK battery from Brilliant Store, hoping to save >$100 on a 9 cell ‘Dell clone’ battery, but I was disappointed. The battery meter was nonfunctional, and worse the battery would not charge past %50 capacity. The battery did seem to work otherwise, however, but I assumed I was sent a used battery.
While I did have to pay $6-8 for return shipping, which was not reimbursed to me (which, to be fair, is plainly stated in their returns policy), the shipment and return refund were both processed equally rapid, so I have no complaints about Brilliant Store in any other regard.
I was not impressed with the battery I ordered however, but I guess one gets that for which one pays…nothing more, unfortunately, but nothing less.

I bought this battery. It’s heavier than the original and when I fully charge the battery, it reaches only 73%. Later on, it drops to 70%.
You may want to buy other than this one.

Like the title says, this is pretty much a cheaper version of the original battery. I would still buy this one over dell.com more expensive version. The charges last a little lest but the rate of deterioration is not a severe as dell original battery (which died on me in a year). The manual charge meter found on this battery also didn’t work. But i was leaving the country on business and was going to be working far from outlets so it served its purpose.
