The battery performed better than expected. The battery meter at one point indicated that it had 5+ hours left. the shipping time is very fast,too.

Expected it to be the standard capacity battery, but it has the capacity of Dell's extended battery. And all that at a price well below the standard capacity battery. there is no problem about the battery itself,while the aervice is not very good--the shipping time is too slow.
