    Hello. What's the "normal price" of a 9 cell battery? (XPS M1530) It's currently +130€ over the standard 6 cell in Spain, but I read it's because there was a fire at the factory.

    How much should I expect to pay for a new 9 cell battery? (I think it was +30€ before the fire, but that's "+30" over the standard price of the 6 cell battery, I guess)

    Thanks

    Anyone? I want to know because I bought a battery for 65€ plus shipping and I want to know if it was a good deal.

    Thanks

    Wow, that's pretty cheap... I forgot to say I bought it on eBay and it was new, never used.

    I bought the XPS M1530 With 9 Cell battery before the price rise. It cost me extra $50 US. But not it's like $170 or something.

    There was a fire in the li-ion battery factory where a huge percentage of li-ion batteries are produced. This has led to a shortage and higher prices. The prices are apparently going to be back to normal in 3 or 4 months.
