    Hello,

    Am suddenly missing one rubber foot of the battery (XPS M1530) and was wondering what is the way to fix it.

    I do have a old battery that does not hold enough charge and can take the rubber foot out of it (if it is at all possible).

    Thanks for your help.

    You should be able to take the feet off the old battery and stick 'em to the new one. Try it.

    I did not want to screw it up and hence was wondering how should I go about removing it, remove just with hand or use some tool. Do not want to destroy one good rubber foot from the old battery and hence want to make sure.

    then how do I affix it, super glue? or something else?
