I never write reviews, but I wanted to take a minute to commend the vendor of this product. I placed my order via 2 day mail on a TUESDAY evening not expecting to receive it until the middle of the following week. However it was shipped the following day and was waiting for me when I got home from work on Monday. IT IS EXCELLENT SERVICE.

There is no reason to rate this battery down as it works as dell designed them. My dell laptop, which came from dell, had this same battery. The battery is bulky, but has much more capacity than the slim six-cell model. (Consider this a "design feature" for better ventilation, and not an unsightly, heavy, anchor.) Just be sure to check with all suppliers that they ship an authentic dell battery, not some generic imitation. Also, double check the battery's model number that you need to be sure that this is the model you require.
It seems that the authentic HP make of this battery probably is hard to find below a price of about $110. At this moment, dell, itself, sells this same battery for about $150 and sometimes has free shipping.
