Wanted: Battery for Dell E6520

[sharkyZA]

The battery I had for the laptop was told by it's internal chip that it is done. It can pass on. Funny story that...
If you have a battery in reasonable condition I'd like to hear from you.

Cheers

I have the same laptop and need a battery as well, it lasts about 40min max

Have found a few but they are ridiculously expensive

Maybe Flashgear can put you in contact with his people

I can get both original and generic of this battery. R1300 for original and R850 for generic.

Hi samcro, does the generic also suffer from the battery gauge eventually deciding the battery is unserviceable and rendering it useless despite the cells still being able to hold a charge? For interest.

I borrowed a battery from work and could get 8 hours of Web browsing and YouTube. It was a newer 87Whr model. I couldn't believe it because the previous battery would also only stay on for 50 odd minutes in those conditions.

I returned two generic batteries before getting the original. I had endless restart problems with the generic.

I found The Notebook Company to be the cheapest.

Regarding Generics its all about the quality of it.surely the low quality ones will give you endless problems but you also get good quality generic ones which don't give any problems. Thats why we give warranties and also offer original ones for those who want a peace of mind..This goes for batteries for all laptop models.
