    I wouldn't do it. Right now there is a 25% off coupon you can use on the Dell batt's thru 3/31..brings the price down a bit, if that helps.

    if u found this out 1 month earlier, u could have had Dell excahnge ur battery...

    still, try to call up dlel to see if they woul dexcahnge (since its only 1 month past the 1 yr battery warranty)... or give u a discount for such a high battery wear
