Battery more powerful, a little bulky, but worth it Aug 28, 2010
By Bob KY I have an Inspiron 1525 that's almost 2 years old. The old 6-cell battery (M911G) had finally seen its last legs and was only lasting for 30 minutes or so. I read the reviews on the Dell certified replacements, and they were good for the 9-cell batteries, but not the 6-cells. Of course the price was extremely high, and I really didn't want to put that much into it. Having bought this product, I feel really good about my decision. It is far more powerful than the old battery. In its prime, I think the old battery may have gotten 2 hours. When I installed this battery, it registered 3-4 hours at 82% power. Of course it depends upon how you're using the computer, but since receiving the battery I have charged it twice and probably used it for around 4 hours between charges each time--not a lot of videos or music--just typical web surfing and word processing. I'm running Vista, and for some reason it has a hard time calculating the battery time, and the numbers fluctuate depending upon what the processor is doing; still this isn't a big deal at all. As noted in other reviews, the battery also sticks out from the back of the laptop by maybe 0.5"-1", and it's a little heavier. I think these trade offs are fair for the power difference. I also received the battery 3 business days sooner than estimated, which was good.

Did not work for me. Aug 23, 2010
By Jay This aftermarket replacement battery pack was detected by my Dell Inspiron 1525 as a non-Dell battery and it would not charge it. I got an error something like...Not a genuine Dell battery and will not be charged. Just a word of caution that this might not be such a fool proof, drop in replacement.
I was able to swap out the old battery cells with the new cells, albeit with a lot of effort and some soldering, and it seems to be charging fine now that the Inspiron 1525 thinks its charging an OEM battery pack. My guess is that there is something on the circuit board inside the OEM battery pack that indicates if it is a genuine Dell pack or not.

works like a charm on our dell inspiron 1525 Jan 03, 2011
By A. Bridges The model of the laptop is a PP29L. I know some reviews have said the battery didn't work with their laptop, so hopefully this helps - it works great with ours.

excellant! Feb 02, 2010

This battery from Amazon is less than half the one you would purchase on the "Dell" site! It seems to be lasting longer between charges, compared to the original one from Dell! So far, all good!!

Terrible Aug 16, 2010
By Noluvv Do not purchase this item. I purchased this cause of the reviews I read. i have a dell inspiron and purchased this battery because my oem battery would no longer recharge. I now have a battery that will not charge so I still can only use my laptop when its plugged in. It was a total waste of money and I advise anyone thinking of purchasing this item to save there money. I read an article saying not to buy any any non dell batteries cause there is something built in the rom that will not allow any non dell battery to charge. So I guess the customer is forced to pay the outrageously high prices for a battery that will work. This is where dell gets us, we buy our laptops for cheap but they get us back on there short lasting overpriced batteries.
