    I originally purchased my XPS M1530 from Dell 3 years ago, and purchased the 9 cell battery with the system...

    After 12 months it stopped charging and eventually drained down under %10. I contacted Dell, the warranty was only 12 months and they wouldn't replace it.

    I purchased another 9 cell battery from Dell, $155.00 + S&H. It came to about $179. This time the battery lasted 13 months...
    Last week I purchased a OEM Dell 9 cell battery Brand New from ebay for $99 S&H. So fare so good, wish me luck! haha

    I almost feel like purchasing the 6 cell battery though. I had a 6 cell in my old dell laptop and it lasted 4-5 years!
