What you bought was a cheap counterfeit. You're going to need to go through Dell. IMO, there is no point in trying your luck at getting a good 3rd party battery. If they do exist, it takes too much time to find one. I've bought a few 3rd party batteries, and now I just by direct from the OEM's.

We usually go through the battery's life every year and a half to two years. If it's already failing I'd call Dell and have them get you a new one. ---- Jack Kramer Computer Systems Specialist University Relations, Michigan State University w: 517-884-1231 / c: 248-635-4955 On 2/21/11 1:04 PM, "John Aldrich" <jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com> wrote: >My Google-Fu is failing me today.
