    Dell is asking $169 to upgrade to a 9-cell battery during configuration, but I do not want to spend that much...Is there any other site (I'm not sure about eBay's reliability as I've never used it before) where I can find a new Dell XPS M1530 9-cell battery for less money?

    Also, if I get it outside of Dell, I will then have 2 batteries. If i upgrade on Dell.com's configuration, then I will have just the 9 cell.

    batteries right now are expensive because of shortages....

    how about just get one battery nwo(6-cell), and buy later?

    Or, look online at eBay. I looked for weeks and finally got a brand new one for $99 shipped free. Got it in two days. I love the 9-cell battery the large lasts a long time.

    I got my brand new 9cell from ebay at around 65€ plus shipping, I think.
