At less than half the price Dell wants for a new battery, this is a real bargain. This is the second laptop battery I've purchased from Brilliant Store and they are an excellent supplier. Thanks.

When I was looking for a battery, I did not expect to find a brand new one for so little. It was a wonderful deal and the bonus was a little written instructional manual about how to correctly discharge your battery and reset it to its maximum charging capacity. Which makes it take a better charge and last longer (something the Laptop manufactures don't want you to know!) I preformed the total discharge for my other laptop and reset my battery and now it will hold a 4.2 hour charge. Thank You! Thank You!

I tried this battery as an alternative to Dell's overpriced replacement batteries. I use it in a Latitude D610. It was a little quirky at first. When I plugged in outlet power after drawing down the battery a bit, it didn't consistently begin charging. After using it for over a month, the problem appears to have resolved itself. Aside from that temporary quirk, the battery has performed well, and I consider it a great bargain.

I think I need to return this battery. It only lasts less than an hour on a charge and my screen is dimmed when I use the battery.

Works, but does not last very long, only about 2 hours. More recently it has been doing 1.5 hours. Also, check battery button works, but requires a lot of force.
