I've had my Dell XPS L502X for just under a year and a half now and the battery has given up the ghost. I noticed it wasn't holding its charge as well as it used to after the summer (so exactly a year after I bought it) but I didn't expect it to die so quickly and suddenly. My dad also has a Dell and its battery also started deteriorating at the one and a half year mark and he's had to get a new battery.
I looked around and the official Dell site lists a 9 cell at £133... which is about a third of the cost of the laptop itself!!!
So yeah I did a bit of snooping around on Google and there seems to be a few batteries out there dying after a year. Now I know that if you search for anything you'll get pages and pages of it so I just wanted to see if anyone here has any experience with Dell batteries. Am I just unlucky?
Also has anyone had any experience with shops like 'laptop-battery-shop.co.uk'? Are their products reliable? They seem much cheaper...
