Doesn't work!
(1 out of 5) by Be Careful! on Apr 1, 2008 (Red Lion, PA USA)A few problems with this product:
1. Most importantly, it did not work. I tried it in 2 different Dell Latitude D600 computers - it fit into the computer but did not supply any power to it.
2. No invoice, packing slip, or any other paperwork was included with the shipment so it was a pain to try and email the company to find out where to send it back and what kind of documentation would be required.
3. The replacement cord is a cheap and very light-weight replacement for the one that dell sells so even if it had worked I would have been somewhat disappointed.
This may not usually happen with this company - I'm not sure. But I'm still waiting on a response from them regarding reimbursement for my purchase. Too much of a hassle. Be careful if you are considering buying this product!

piece of junk
(1 out of 5) by Kevin on Dec 6, 2008 (Necedah, WI USA)Worked fine for about a month in my Inspiron 6000, then started to not charge the battery. Get message 'power supply type cannot be determined' on bootup. Won't charge the battery I have which is brand new. Also runs very hot to the touch. Not recommended.

Great service from thebatterycenter
(5 out of 5) by Benjamin White on Apr 7, 2009I bought this as a replacement charger and battery for my Inspiron 6000. The charger stopped working properly so I emailed the company. I realize there are different sellers, I got mine from one called thebatterycenter. I was greatly impressed by the service. They replaced it for free and I haven't had any problems with it whatsoever. Of all the replacements I have had with different products in my life, this is the only seller I have ever heard that actually sounded like they cared. I also never write reviews and here I am doing it.

Don't trust the photo.
(1 out of 5) by Nicole DelRosso on Jan 10, 2009 (Springfield, OR USA)I was very pleased with how quickly this item was shipped, and the quick response time by the seller, but I would NOT recommend buying this specific item. The item is not the one pictured - it's a cheap, lightweight knock off - but that's not really my problem.
I plugged the charger in my laptop to find that it wasn't charging the battery (What? That's what I bought it for!) I emailed an inquiry about the problem to the seller, and the response was "These adapters just provide AC power to the laptop."
I find this hardly a "replacement" to the original AC adapter without this key functionality.
Thankfully, though, I was issued a refund very promptly and with little question. This item may be a piece of junk, but I'm thankful to have received prompt service along every step of the process.
