I purchased this battery four months ago when my original battery (9 cell) was down to 1 hour at 100% charge. I called Dell and they wanted $165 for an oem battery. I told the sales rep I would get my battery elsewhere. He asked what I meant by "elsewhere". I told him I would buy from another online store. He told me it wouldn't be the same quality. I told him I could buy four "inferior" quality batteries to his one, and I would take my chances. He then proceeded to argue with my over my bad choice. I thanked him for his advice, and bought this battery. It was only after my discussion with Dell that I discovered that the $165 battery was the 6-cell (the 9 cell was $185). As I said, I have had this 9 cell for over four months, 5+ hours of battery life on a full charge with no problems, and I am about to buy another one just to have around (at less than $50, you can't go wrong!). As for those who received bad batteries, it happens! There's a one-year warranty for crying out loud. Get a free replacement and quit whining!

4.0 out of 5 stars 70% performance for 20% price of Original, December 4, 2010

Update: 2/15/2012 - My particular battery is still working good. According to my new battery monitoring software, the cells are reported as being made by SamsungSDI for DELL. Current fully charged capacity is a bit lower at 6871 mAh Feb 2012 - from the original listed below at 7260 mAh in Dec 2010. After speaking with some other friends I've recommended to buy this product, it can be hit or miss, seems like they may be "remanufactured" since the information provided by the same software differ so much from 1 battery to the next. All I can say is what mine is reporting, and so far over 1 year of use the battery has gone down roughly 6% in capacity.

So how does a battery that costs 20% of the current Dell asking price fare? I think the title of this review says it all. This high capacity battery 7200mAh lasts longer than fresh Dell regular capacity battery but less than the Dell high capacity. It takes the form of the high capacity cover so tilts the XPS1330 a little. But is lighter than a Dell high capacity battery.

So how well does it Fit? Its fine, definitely not the smooth slide and click of the original but if you wiggle it a little it'll snap snug in place and lock. Once it is in I don't take it off anyways - so fit is a small issue in the scheme of things. No gaps, doesn't wiggle when in place, and contacts connect together.

Now to the important part. For my specific XPS 1330 configuration with replaced higher speed 4Gb RAM, and faster 7200rpm HD, and the NVidia 8400GS video (uses more power), I'm averaging 4.5 hours with one charge now. First couple of charges the battery lasted just under 4 hours so I was worried. but after 3-4 cycles it reached to capacity. So the battery was fairly fresh. My software battery monitor tool says the actual capacity is 7260. So slightly higher than spec'd. I'll likely report back a little later to see how long this thing lasts. If all the cells hold up, then it should be OK.

Would I recommend it? Based on my current experience yes. You get 70% performance of the Dell battery for 20% the cost.

This battery was not what I ordered... It was a "no name" battery literally, with lower capacity. After investigation I found it was one that Eznsmart produced themselves and was not even approved yet. I ordered an AGPtek and received something totally different. The return process has been brutal and I still haven't received my credit. Be careful when you buy from Eznsmart, I would stromgly advise against it!
