5.0 out of 5 stars Works well, so far..., September 3, 2009

I received this a few days ago, and so far it works very well. I haven't used it to the full extent of it's charge, but my computer estimates that it lasts about 2 1/2 to 3 hours on "high performance". It fits perfectly into the battery slot, and looks almost identical to my Dell battery. My last battery was a 6-cell, and this 9-cell is essentially the same thing with a bar across the bottom that raises the laptop up a bit. Once again, everything fits into place perfectly, and the battery looks to be of good quality. I will update my review if there are any changes with the performance of the battery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Working well for now, February 6, 2010

My original dell battery lasted for about 2 years. I bought this as a replacement because it was 33% the cost of a Dell OEM replacement. The company is based in Fremont, CA, the battery is probably made overseas. So far, this battery works well. It holds a charge that lasts 3.5 to 5 hours, depending on how it is used. They provide a set of instructions on breaking in the battery to the computer. This involves charging and discharging the battery three times. The battery changes the shape of the computer. My original 6 cell battery allowed the computer to lay flat on a table. This battery has an extra appendage that raises the "hinge side" of the laptop up about a half inch on a flat table. This actually makes it more comfortable for me to type, and thus is not a problem. But buyers should be aware of this change to the computer geometry. I have had this battery for only week, so I cannot speak to longevity yet. If I am disappointed with the longevity, I'll return to update this review. However, currently I am happy that I chose this battery.

Update February 28, 2011: So its been a year of use with this battery and I have been happy with the performance. The longevity has degraded as expected. On a full charge it says that it will run for 2 hours and 59 minutes. My experience has been that it will last somewhere between 2.5 to 3 hours of real performance.

The seller was great. They shipped very quickly and packaging was fine. They were also very responsive to email. I am sure they are selling the same battery you can get from Dell for 3 times as much but the bottom line is that in less than 6 months, the battery does not hold a charge. That is very disappointing
