| 1356964 | 2013-10-24 01:56:00 | My wife's Inspiron laptop battery needs replacing. Is it preferable to order a new one from Dell or are reputable dealers in NZ who sell equivalent replacements? Many thanks |

Many thanksIronically I'm just speaking to one of my suppliers about Dell Batteries. He suggests you get it directly from Dell. It may cost a little more BUT the "equivalent" ones can sometimes cause problems. Dells have whats known as a smart adapter, they actually talk to the battery so to speak. The generic Ones don't, so you may get pop up messages saying various things like no battery, not charging, not enough power etc. |

| 1356968 | 2013-10-25 00:10:00 | Thanks Greg for your link but SWMBO who is currently very depressed with a severe flare up of arthritis insisted on an original Dell replacement despite the higher cost. It wasn't diplomatic to disagree!! | bonzo29 (2348) | ||
