    i just looked at the dell uk site, and they dont seem to sell any batteries for the m1530, why is that?

    also do the m1330 and the m1530 take the same batteries?

    and how long on average does a dell 6cell battery last?

    i found it, but they charge £185 for a 9 cell battery, thats crazy, why are they still so expensive?

    how long will my 6cell battery last?
    also, should i let it go to 10%, then charge fully and so on?
    first time i use it, shall i charge it fully?

    Just keep an eye on Ebay
    They pop up now and again for around £40-£60 for 9 cell

    the 1530 and 1330 use diffrent battery. You can try ebay but be very carful when purchasing a battery from there

    Stupid thing is...the shortage is on the 6-cell battery in the UK. But on their UK site its as follows:

    6-Cell Battery: Ships 2-3 days
    9-Cell Battery: Ships 3+ Weeks

    Now...it's the 6-cell that delays your order..and I understand that these ones are pre-packaged for retail sale but they should use them for people ordering a whole system!!

    In the US it seems the shortage when ordering a new system is the other way around and it's the 9-cell that is in more demand.

    Personally I went for the 9-Cell despite that it sticks out a bit as I saw a pic and it still looks good from the back. Im in UK.
