    Those that have the M1530 with the 9-Cell battery, is it loose at one end as in the following pics?

    Looking at the laptop from the front, the battery is held in well on the right side but the left side is loose.

    The battery does however work fine. just wondered if this was a common design fault or something that can be rectified.

    Mine is completely tight. I had to install it a couple times and really shove it in to get it tight.

    Made me laugh...... That almost sounds rude ;)

    Thanks for all the replies, reckon it's one of those luck of the draw things, as long as the battery works fine I'll leave it be ...
