85Wh Lithium-Ion 9Cell Latitude D820 Dell battery review

As we all know, the Latitude D820 is higher than the thin and light 14 “widescreen D620 and the budget oriented 14″ standard aspect Latitude D520 battery in the lineup. The D820 is an updated version of the latitude D810 battery and features the Intel Core Duo processor to replace the D810 Pentium M and a significant weight reduction in the D810.

As its big wid screen, so the latitude d820 battery is also can not afford its 3 hours daily work. The first year I bought D820, I used the battery frequently as work and travel, fortunately it died after 10 moths in the dell 1 year warranty. I do not know why the machine is 3 year warranty but the battery is only 1 year warranty. Now I know, after the 3 year used 3 batteries replacement (the second year I buy a Macbook for travel). Now I find some reivew about Dell latitude d820 battery.

I bought 2 types Dell latitude D820 battery : 6Cell and 9Cell. I do not want to say anything about my bad 6 Cell battery (the one died after 10 month). Below is the 9Cell 85Wh batetry photos.

The Latitude D820 battery Tech specs :
Device Type : Notebook battery
Technology : 9-cell lithium ion
Capacity : 85 Wh
Recharge Cycles : 300-500
Work with : Dell latitude D820, Latitude D830 battery

Customer review in Dell web site:

I have run through three laptop batteries in four years on the D820. Only use is CPU and HD, never DVD. Typically charge starts to drop off in 9-12 month time frame to the point that unit will not run on battery for even 1 minute. This is totally unacceptable; by comparison original Mac batty still going strong after several years. Bye, bye Dell – you have ignored this user-expensive issue for years.

I’ve been a loyal Dell user for years. However, the next laptop I or anyone in my family or circle of friends buys is most likely going to be something other than a Dell. Why? Because if Dell consciously ignores this abundantly-documented laptop battery life problem, who knows what self-serving obsolescence might be built in to newer Dell laptops? This battery fiasco is one of the easiest ways for Dell to lose loyal customers who consistently seek out high-end products because of their requirements for quality and reasonable product life cycle

I purchased 2 extended batteries with my new Latitude D820. Both batteries failed within 1 year. This is not acceptable for items of this cost. If they are this unreliable they should be covered under the extended warranty

Lasted about 14 months the died completely like my Latitude D620 battery. Just made it out of warranty. I guess there was clause in my extended 3yr warranty that the battery is not covered.

The Dell latitude D820 battery replacement Review in Amazon:

This battery, while appearing to be the same size as the Dell original, is just a few millimeters off. As a result, my battery rarely charges.The battery can be docked, but the metal connectors in the battery are not (sufficiently) touching the pins in the system to charge the battery.

To resolve, I have to do everything from jiggling the battery to completely removing & resetting it. Even then the problem is not guaranteed to go away. Finally, the Dell Latitude D830 battery has never charged fully. When the charge is working , it always seems to quit around the 90% area. Since I’ve had my new battery, I’ve been running on A/C most of the time, but I am dreading my next trip when I longer have an outlet to plug into.

I received the Batery for my Dell D820, and it fit perfectly! On the Positive side, it was a perfect fit, and when the hard drive is not whirring, the charge indicator says I have over 5 hours of batery life left, which is great. The color of the battery differs from that of the computer only slightly.

On the negative side, the build quality doesn’t look as sturdy as the original, and the charge indicator lights look a bit “flimsy”, but then again, the original Dell latitude D520 battery lasted me only a year.

Even if this one lasts for the same ammount of time, it still cost me LESS THAN HALF of what an original Dell battery would have cost… As far as I’m concerned, I would recommend this product to anyone who owns a Dell and donesn’t want to get ripped off buying $300 battery that will only last a year, maybe even less.

12Cell 98Wh Dell Inspiron 5100 Lithium battery review

Dell’s first model in its revamped consumer notebook range, the mainstream Inspiron 5100, is different both inside and out. Gone is the buttoned-down grey case, to be replaced by a two-tone ‘Venice blue and moonlight silver’ design. Also a little mistake is that the Dell inspiron 5100 battery is too heavy to make the notebook a little importable.

Last Saturday I went to a schoole to do a PPT lecture. So I should buy a battery replacement for the trip. I just use the battery a little so I do not decide to buy a expensive Dell original one or buy a replacement from some other manufacturers. I searched the “Dell inspiron 5100 Battery” in Dell.com and Amazon .com and found many interesting customer reviews.


The picture just from a online shop : www.battery4.us

The Dell Inspiron 5100 battery specs :
Technology : 12-cell lithium ion
Voltage: 14.8V
Capacity : 98Wh
Max Recharge Cycles : 500
Weight: 722.91 g
Fits Model : Inspiron 1100 Battery , Dell inspiron 5100 Battery

From the below specs you can see that the laptop battery is a big and heavy battery with 12 cells. It also can last 3-4 hours showing the PPT documents ( I have test that). In all the battery is not a good choice as its weight (same as the adapter and lines). Let me see the customer reviews of the Original one and replacement.

The original One review:

This Inspiron 1100 Battery worked first time. Two batteries from cheaper sites didn’t work at all and we had the duty of returning the defective batteries. Dell’s was more expensive but worth it!!

VERY EXPENSING! Double the cost of a car battery. But you need it if you want your older computer to be portable. My new lithium-ion battery for my dell inspiron 1100 laptop has a 2 hour and 15 minute capacity.excellent! that’s all the time i need for wireless.

The Dell inspiron 5100 battery replacement from Amazon :

Ordered this Dell Inspiron 5100 Battery for my laptop. Arrived and it was dead. Contacted company to return it. Communication on how to return the product was timely, but when I got a replacement battery that was dead too. I was able to return it and even though I got all my money back in full it was a lot of headache going back and forth with the emails and having to twice make a trip to the post office to ship it back. It took a over a month to finally close this issue. Even though I got all my money back in full and the emails on the status was very communicative it was a pain. It took two dead batteries to be delivered to a customer before an email from customer service stated that maybe the batch was bad and it needed to be looked into.

The price was right, the quality was great, and it arrived quickly. Far less expensive than buying from Dell. Thanks! Battery works perfectly, fits perfectly and lasts longer then the factory battery ever did. It is rater higher too.

Six steps make you use lithium battery safely and long

dell_destroyed_sm

The world’s largest computer manufacturer Dell Inc. announced that they will recall millions of laptop batteries. Because these batteries can catch fire. The batteries were produced by Japan’s Sony Inc that famouse of its lithium battery technology. A few days ago, Sony’s own laptop batteries are also burned in the United States.

Lithium-ion laptop batteries now are becoming the synonym of insecurity. They has even been called “technological terrorism” : technical imperfections caused by security threats by some American columnists.

However, despite this, life had to continue. We currently can not leave them because lithium-ion batteries is the most important part of the thin and light portable electronic products.

So, scientists are rearching alternative fuel-cell to replace lithium-ion Inspiron 6000 Battery . At the same time for ordinary consumers, we must know how to use lithium-ion batteries safely, that is probably more practical.

First of all, we can not ignore the lithium battery. We should know that rechargeable Dell inspiron 1545 battery is “a source of strength” of portable electronic devices that you can see everywhere . From notebook to cell phones, from cell phones to MP3, from digital cameras to electric bicycles, from the CD machine to digital camcorder. However, we often take a little attention to them, unless the phone is power off when a important call coming , or we prepare the luggage for a trip.

Recent events made us realize that the battery is very important to our daily life, so we have to understand them.

Lithium-ion battery (Li-ion) rechargeable Dell Latitude D520 Battery, typically used in notebook computers, mobile phones and iPod. There is also a rechargeable nickel-metal hydride battery (NiMH). This battery is currently mainly used in cordless phones, cheap digital camera and a small part of the notebook computer.

Some simple note will let you lithium-ion battery using relatively more secure and more longevity.

First, do not contact the dell vostro 1400 battery positive and negative part with metal objects. Place the lithium battery stay away from metal objects and the high temperature areas in order to avoid the battery short-circuit.

Second, you’d better charge lithium-ion dell vostro 1000 battery with original charger, or it will damage the battery and shorten their life, serious may even cause an explosion.

Third, frequently use is a good way for lithium battery live longer. But let laptop battery always in the charge state is not OK.

Fourth, the lithium-ion battery has no memory effect. Do not need to fully charged the Sony VGP-BPS8 VGP-BPS9/S battery when charging, so the battery is used not to in 0 ‰. Especilly for the camera lithium-ion battery, once the power state in zero, then the battery protection circuit starts. Some manufacturers battery (as Sony) cut off the main circuit inside, then the battery locked.

Fifth, when a battery not in use for long time, the Sony VGP-BPS8A VGP-BPS9/Blaptop battery should be stored at low temperature, dry environment, away from heat, do not placed in direct sunlight areas. Generally considered, it should be charging to about 40% of the electricity and store at 10 to 30 degrees Celsius temperatures. Do not forget charge the battery every six months or so.

Sixth, when the laptop in hibernate mode but the VGP-BPS9 Sony VGP-BPS9A/B battery is in working state, so you had better turn off the computer when not using. In addition, if your laptop has Bluetooth, or wireless capabilities, it is best to turn off when not in use these features, as they search for available networks is also to be power-hungry.

Customer review :

I would not get this product. I would not buy a laptop from Dell again. Laptop Battery barely lasted a year and was told I had to buy another one that this was the normal life of battery. Bad Product!

This Dell Inspiron E1505 Battery just died on me. it wont charge more than 37% and now i have to buy another one…

The replacement products in Amazon review :

was skeptical buying this battery for my Dell Inspiron 1420, being it so cheap. Any computer store around where I live the batteries were over $150 for standard capacity and even more expensive [...]. This is a great buy.
The only downside is that it is a heavy Dell Inspiron 1420 Battery and was not fully charged when I first put it in.
Otherwise, it works well and gives me 4 hours to float around on battery.  

Since receiving (Amsahr-quick delivery) and using this Dell Inspiron 1720 Battery and charging and discharging it approximately 6 times, it has performed excellently and with high performance. It also fits perfectly like the original, and was priced very reasonable.

Dell tip for lithum laptop battery

Q Is it easy to install a battery?

a Yes, very easy. First, make sure all open files are saved. Next, either attach the aC adapter directly to the lap or set the system to “hibernate” mode or shut off. Release the latch on the current battery, and simply install the replacement Dell Latitude D830 Battery.

Q Will Dell laps accept non-Dell batteries?

a Dell has a rigorous qualification process by which all Dell batteries are validated to ensure proper function, performance and safety. Some non-Dell batteries are available in the market with claims of compatibility with Dell systems. Dell cannot verify these claims, nor the safety of using them in a Dell system. Dell strongly encourages our customers to use only Dell lap batteries advertised as appropriate for their lap model. Only Dell lap batteries come with a 1-year warranty, are engineered for optimal safety and performance for Dell systems, and are supported by Dell technical support for the length of the warranty period.

Q What is a modular bay battery?

a In some lap systems Dell offers a Latitude D620 Battery that can be used in the optical drive media bay (DVD/CD drive bay). This enables the use of two batteries, potentially extending the available run time.

Q If I install a modular bay battery, are my primary and modular bay batteries working at the same time to power my lap computer?

a No, the modular bay battery is used first, then the system automatically switches to the primary battery. This is a deliberate design to allow the most amount of run time to remain in the primary Dell KD476 Dell U4873  battery in case the modular bay battery is removed and replaced with an optical drive.

Q For what use is the strip of LED lights on my battery?

a Most Dell batteries have an LED indicator that allows users to see how much run time and how much overall battery life are available at the touch of a button.

To check Sony VGP-BPS8  charge, press the button and the number of lights that appear will tell you charge status. If all lights appear, you have a fully charged battery. Each light that appears accounts for approximately 20% charge.

To check the battery health, press and hold the status button on the battery charge gauge for at least 3 seconds. If no lights appear, the battery is in good condition and approximately more than 80 percent of its original charge capacity remains. Each light represents incremental degradation. If five lights appear, approximately less than 60 percent of the charge capacity remains, and you should consider replacing the Inspiron 1100 Battery .

Q What does Dell recommend for battery storage for a long period of time?

a When storing for more than 4 days these guidelines can better preserve the life of your battery:

Do not store batteries for long periods plugged into or attached to any power source. This includes aC adapters and lap security carts plugged into an outlet.

Lap batteries, including those stored in lap systems, should maintain an Operational Storage Temperature of 0° to 35°C (32° to 95°F).

Batteries may be stored in the lap or outside of the lap.

Charge batteries before storing. The recommended charging time should not exceed 1 hour. Typically, this should charge the laptop battery to between 80% and 100%. (Some discharge will take place over time. Stored batteries are expected to discharge 10-15% over a four month period, for your information.)

Q are there restriction with taking lithium-ion batteries on planes?

a Effective January 1, 2008, the Department of Transportation (DOT) through the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety administration (PHMSa) will no longer allow loose lithium VGP-BPS9/B  batteries in checked baggage. These batteries may continue to be packed in carry-on baggage.

Customre Reviews :

this Dell laptop battery is a nightmare. i bought 2 defective ones in a row and now dell will only refund one of them. the first one didn’t charge at all. after 2 weeks, the second one doesn’t charge past 5% of its capability. Dell will not refund me for the first one because their agents never connected me to the right # after I purchased the second one. Now i am over the 21 days. Dell has problems.

This battery only lasts a few months when I checked the price for a replacement I got shocked. I will try other batteries not from dell and check quality and price, maybe I can get the same performance as the oem but without wasting more money.

I purchased this laptop 2 months ago with the 1.83 Duo Core porcessor, 1 Gig RAM, 7200 RPM 60 Gig HD, Windows media center and office basic and True life screen. The computer is really quite fast and trouble free thus far. The E1505 Battery or 6400 Battery is a great laptop for the traveling power user. It is not so big that I can’t pack it from airport to airport, but is big enough that it is comfortable and easy to use. I have teh 1.86Ghz Core Duo, 2 GB ram, ATI X1400, Blutoot .

At 6 pounds, the Inspiron E1505 Battery will ship with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 to dictate the overall multimedia offerings so you can enjoy TV, music, movies, and photos. Both the E1505 and 6400 will come equipped with Intel’s latest Dual-Core Duo processors at up to 2.0 GHz. To keep the prices down, these model only come with an integrated graphics solution however we suspect in the future (if demand calls for) there will be a discrete option.

The Dell Inspiron E1505 Battery and Dell Inspiron 6400 Battery are availablw now. Prices start at $929 for the E1505 and $979 for the 6400.

Performance from the 1.6-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 CPU is good choice for a budget mainstream portable and performed the?very well on?five of the seven tests, with a score of 231 on MobileMark 2005. Battery life, at 4 hours and 51 minutes, is excellent for a mainstream notebook and Latitude D620 Battery . The 128MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 graphics engine means you can even play 3D games. The E1505 delivered 85 fps on F.E.A.R., using autodetect settings. Although that was at lower resolution and with some eye-candy turned off, its more than we expected from a notebook in this price class

Basic features for both models:


  • Choice of 15.4-inch WXGA, WXGA with TrueLife or WSXGA+ with TrueLife displays
  • Intel Core Duo and Core Solo processor options (667 MHz, 2 MB cache) at up to 2.0GHz
  • Up to 2 GB shared(3) 533 MHz DDR2 memory
  • Intel Integrated GMA 950 graphics
  • Serial ATA hard drive up to 100 GB 7,200 RPM
  • Fixed 16X CD-RW/DVD drive or 8X DVD+/-RW dual-layer drive
  • Internal Intel Pro/Wireless 3945 (802.11a/b/g, 54Mbps) and Dell Wireless or internal Dell 350 Bluetooth options
  • Ports and slots include four USB 2.0, IEEE 1394, VGA, S-video and ExpressCard
  • Microsoft Windows XP Home, Media Center Edition 2005, or XP Professional
  • Six-cell 53 WHr Li-Ion Dell laptop Battery with nine-cell 85WHr Li-Ion upgrade option
  • Starting weight at 6.18 pounds (2.8kg)

That’s the buyer’s review : I bought this laptop with a gig of ram, a 80 gig hard drive, an radeon 1400 graphics card, and a 1.86 dual core processor. It works great and i love how you can play dvd’s without booting windows. I can play all my games, even the graphics heav…y 3D ones not like my laso notebook Latitude D600 Battery .
I got the e1505 about 2 months ago and so far only managed to really screw it up once. I had to do the system restore (from the restore partition) and it only took about 10 minutes tops to reformat and reload the OS. The Radeon x1400 is very good for… what it is. I don’t run real high res in my games so it performs very nicely and still looks good. The display is very sharp and crisp and all text is very legible even for my poor ol’ eyes. It’s very quick at video rendering for DVD creation and the boot time is very fast (about a minute) due to a very quick HD. My only gripe is all the extra junk Dell feels the need to pile on, and the fact that a factory restore disc is extra (although that seems to be the norm anymore). All in all, it’s been a very good replacement for my aging desktop.
This laptop computer fits all my needs. I e-mailed this e-mail for the review on Dell Latitude D520 Battery. I do not know if I will ever want or use a different computer. It is perfact for any job that anyone may have or want.

The 15.4-inch UltraSharp widescreen display delivered strong colors when watching DVDs, even from a variety of angles. The speakers, which are located on either side of the playback controls, produced surprisingly good sound, even though the bass was a bit weak. This configuration has an 80GB hard drive for storing your digital music collection, along with gobs of photos and videos in your Sony VGP-BPS8 or Sony VGP-BPS2C.

The Dell E1505 is commendably quiet — most of the time.? Even while watching a DVD, the fan remained off.? With a low power integrated video card, only one fan is needed to cool this machine.? The hard drive makes a subdued, but noticeable hum.

Only under heavier tasks does the fan does come on.? It has at least three speeds.? The lowest is very quiet, and more of a pleasing low pitched hum than an annoying whine? Unfortunately, running benchmarks (which can cause sustained full processor usage, something most programs rarely do) will often cause the fan to quickly bypass first and kick into second and then third gear.? It seems that when the fan starts, the CPU continues to warm for a few moments while the cooling begins to take effect on VGP-BPS9 , triggering a higher fan speed that is not really necessary.? After a while it will slow back down and stay there.? If the fan is already running at a lower speed when the benchmark starts, it usually won’t speed up.? After 10 minutes of simultaneous 3DMark05 and Super Pi, the fan did go from the lowest to the middle speed.

Inspiron E1505 Battery life with the default 6-cell battery averages around three hours–not great, but not bad for a multimedia portable computer. Dell offers an upgrade to a 9-cell battery for under $100 if you need a lengthier life before recharging.

Its battery is very weak . Some users talk: I paid a premium for the 85Wh battery when I ordered my Inspiron E1505 and I am extremely disappointed that the battery has quit holding a charge after only 18 months…and now I’m looking at nearly $200 to order a replacement? I bought my Inspiron less than two years ago and I am now looking for my third battery. I should have purchased one way before now since I have to stay plugged up to use my laptop. Way too much money for a worst than terrible battery as XPS M1530 Battery.Additional Thoughts I will not buy any more Dell laptops. http://reviews.dell.com/2341/312-0428/reviews.htm. I advice you buy a new laptop battery replacement in http://www.laptops-battery.co.uk

Dell includes a one-year limited warranty on these portable computers, which features at-home service if it’s needed. The one-year period has become the de facto standard for most PC vendors these days.



As they ship, the Dell Inspiron E1505 or Inspiron E1705 Battery portable computers offer excellent core power and a good set of components. Gamers will want the graphics upgrade and video editors will want to step up the optical drive, but even if you do both, these portable computers still sell for well under a grand.
