    Hello all,
    I just purchase a studio xps 1647 i5 540m, 1080p. I forgot to chose the 9 cell battery and ended up getting the 6 cell with my purchase. Anyone know where I can purchase a 9 cell battery besides Dell because it cost like $155 and that's way too much. Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

    Have you tried contacting Dell to see if they would exchange it?

    nope they told me i would have to cancel and reorder, but I ordered through paypal and so I decided to buy it from a third party company called Batt pro. Do anyone think this was a bad idea on my part to do so?
