After about one month past the first anniversary of my Dell XPS m1530, the Dell battery that came with my computer (85Wh, 9-cell Li-ion) stopped charging, or, when it did charge, would only hold the charge for a few minutes. This was a sudden change, not the usual gradual decline in capacity over a number of years as I have experienced with other laptops. Not great, since although the computer has a few years of warranty left, Dell only gives the battery one year. I looked into getting another Dell battery from Dell, but found it to be very expensive, and that a lot of people were having similar experiences with their Dell batteries shortly after the one year mark.
After a lot of searching, I found this third party battery on Amazon, which cost less than half the price of the Dell battery. This battery has been working great so far. If I have future problems in a year I will be sure to return to provide an update.
A few things to note about the dimensions of this battery. It is not as long as my old Dell battery (10-7/8 inch vs 12-1/2 inch). Both batteries raise the computer when installed, but the new battery raises the computer about 1/8 inch less than the old Dell battery. Finally, this new battery extends out the back of the laptop by about 1/2 inch, whereas the old Dell battery did not extend past the back of the laptop at all. I never noticed that the new battery extended past the back until I tried to put my laptop in my backpack and it would not fit in the laptop sleeve.

I bought this because the 6 cell battery for my M1530 didn’t last quite as long as I would like. I received the product 5 business days after ordering in good packaging with a special bag to protect the battery. Took out my old battery and put this one in and it worked right away. Came 50% charged and now at high performance I can get a good 3 – 3.5 hours out of it; I can get much more by setting Vista to balanced or power saver. BE AWARE THAT THIS BATTERY RAISES THE BACK OF YOUR LAPTOP WHEN INSTALLED. Only con that doesn’t really matter is that the seller did not notify me when the battery was shipped or provide me with a tracking number but I still got it in decent time. Also this battery is much cheaper than buying it from Dell.
