    Hello,

    I would like to upgrade 9560 battery using 84Wh 4GVGH from 9550. Alas 97Wh 9560 batteries are hard to find.
    Dimensions and screws' positions seem the same.
    Did somebody try such upgrade?

    I think @GoNz0 tried and it doesn't work. You can put the newer 97whr battery into a 9550 but you can't put a 9550 battery into a 9560.

    Do you know why it did not work? If newer battery fits into older computer then I thought older would fit into newer. Unless it is thicker.

    It said it's not a genuine battery and wouldn't charge... I've only seen 1 person try it and have no other details... I still think it should work...

    Think what you like fella, I tried it and it didn't work, as per usual Dell did it backwards.

    @GoNz0 So is it possible for the newer battery 97WH to work in the old 9550?
