Not worth it November 2, 2008 DrXenos 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I'd thought I'd save money on this battery. Nope. Three months and it is already dead. I should have just bought one directly from Dell.

I bought this to replace the original battery on a Dell E1505 that lasted 13 months. It looks similar to original, fits properly and charges to 100%. I ran the computer from 100% charge until it shut down and got 2 hours 45 minutes run time. This seems about right for the capacity of this battery after the first week of use. Smart_parts shipped quickly, I had it within 3 days of placing the order. I just hope that is lasts longer than the Dell battery did.
So far, so good April 26, 2008 B. Proulx (MA, USA) 11 out of 15 found this review helpful
My original battery failed after 22 months, not bad considering I see a lot of postings about Dell batteries not even making it a year. Just got my TechFuel battery. Went with these guys because the other vendors, although cheaper, seemed like hit-or-miss with the quality and didn't come with any warranty. Appears that there's a large bin somewheres full of leftover batteries and you take a chance with them. This one comes with a 12-month warranty - more than enough time to figure out if you have a bad one and return it. I did have to re-seat it in the socket as it was having trouble charging, seems fine now and charges to 100% - meter shows over 2 hours worth of charge.
