Dell Warranty - Battery Covered?

Hi guys, I got Dell Care Plus (the three year warranty, accidental care, etc. all that good stuff) for my Inspiron 1520. Now, if my previous laptop is any indication to Dell's batteries, I know that they usually start sucking by the end of one year or so. If my 9-cell battery for the 1520 starts to suck say 1.5 years from now, is it covered under my 3-year warranty and so will I get a replacement?

Thx in advance

 

lol, i just posted a thread about the battery, no its not covered

 

Can you give me a link showing me this information regarding battery and warranty service? I can't find anything so far on Dell...

 

No, batteries are not covered under Dell or any other company's warranty...

 

Batteries have a 1 year warranty I think.

 

I have a 1505 right now that I originally ordered with a 6 cell. I wanted to get a 9 cell but didn't want to pay $179 on Dell's website. I found a seller on ebay that sells them (they aren't the recalled ones, lol) for $39.00. I have been using it for 7 months now and it's still getting 3:45-4:00 hours on a full charge. Also, I received it in two days!

 

All batteries, no matter which brand you buy - be it Sony, Dell, Apple -all have a standard 1 year warranty, unless specified.

 

I've bought a battery on e-bay before....it died in like 15 minutes and I trusted the guy cuz he had a 98% rating. I wanted a refund and the guy was like u gotta pay $20 shipping back and they'll send a replacement....at which point I was like screw u and marked his rating down. I haven't trusted e-bay batteries ever since...

On another note, so long as I'm in my warranty service, if my battery gives way, I think I'll just call up dell and see what happens. hopefully if I nag at them enough they'll send me a replacement

 

I'm glad my eBay battery wasn't like yours...

 

do you remember the seller's name? i think it would be nice to have an extra battery

 

zenecis - The seller's name is: wholesalelaptopnparts and their feedback is 99.8

 

That's just the standard return policy for most eBay items - if it's defective, the buyer still will have to pay to ship it back. Just like if you bought a defective item from Newegg, you still need to ship it back at your own expense.

Batteries are considered consumables (no, don't eat them) and have a 1 year warranty. They are not covered under extended warranty plans.

 

Greetings,

The thread's old, I know. I wanted to share that(for sure)Dell will net honor their warranty on batteries. I am going through this right now. I have a 3 year additional warranty with the laptop, and nearly a year and a half into the life of the computer, the battery will not hold a charge for any longer than twenty minutes. Nowhere on the order page for the warranty does it specify that batteries are not covered. I am going to try to get the nearly $600 in warranties (between two laptops) refunded now.

 

Around the 11 month mark with Dell, contact XPS support and tell them your battery is not holding the same charge anymore (if thats the case). They will get a new battery out to you the next day.
