Is this a genuine Dell battery, or a third-party battery?

It is labeled "Dell Inc", "Dell battery module" as shown in the picture. I haven't had any issues with it that I've experienced with 3rd party batteries in the past, e.g., not fitting correctly or life shorter than expected. It's solid.

I don't know. I only know that it is a Dell battery and was exactly what my laptop required. I think there's a year warranty but not sure. Sorry I'm now more help. I was thrilled to find it at such a good price and it was brand new.

Sorry about the delay. I have had mine over a a year. I think something was wrong with my dell so this battery never worked from from the beginning. But the customer service was fantastic though, they sent me a couple of replacements just could not use them. Hope this helps

No, it was not an actual Dell Battery - it is obviously refurbished, as it will only last a few hours without being plugged in.

I have a different computer model. I called Dell direct and read them the model numbers off the computer. They told me the exact replacement parts I needed. My recommendation is call Dell first, then order the part. I purchased this battery and it worked for three days. I notified the company and they sent a replacement battery that day. It has worked great ever since the second one arrived. Good Luck!

This is why I bought this battery - I have an Inspiron from Dell and this battery is wonderful -

It looks to me like a Dell Product. I've been using it in my laptop and I can't see any difference between the old and new battery.

Based on the markings on the battery it seems to be a dell product. I haven't verified the S/N on Dell site though.

I have the same computer and i bought this battery. It worked well for about a month and then crash, the computer stop recogniizing it. I end up buying the original from Dell and although was a little more expensive I did not have any problem since then.

My dell laptop doesn't recognize this battery and shuts down once in a while.

Yes it is. Popped the old Dell original battery (about three or four years old) and popped in this one. Just be aware that this battery (9 cell) is larger, depth wise, than the original (6 cell). So, your computer sits up about a half inch in the back. Others mentioned that if one is concerned about the laptop depth being exactly flat, this adds an extra 1/2" of depth. I like it because it allows for better air flow and I notice that the fan runs less, so less noise and less heat build-up. I very much like the extra charging capacity. If you do the charge - discharge to 7% - recharge cycle three times the resultant battery life is a few hours (depending on usage) rather than a couple of hours (depending on usage) with the OEM battery. In short (or a little long) I'd buy another one in an instant if I needed one. Way less than Dell wants for a six cell.

I don't know, my problem is apparently not the battery but a flaw in the circuitry that should uses power but notifies me that the battery is low. The new battery didn't change anything and after talking to Dell I resolved to never buy another Dell product.

The battery I got worked for 2 weeks then quit charging. It was from Tech Rover, and they promised to honor the warranty, but despite my repeated requests after I shipped it back, they never did. I ended up ordering a more expensive one from Dell, but at least it has worked. I notice that this one is not shipped by Tech Rover. Hope this helps.

I purchased that battery for my Dell 5010 and it is working great (four months now) The only problem I have had - and it's minor- is that occasionally when i recharge, I get a message that the computer can't "read" the battery number and to replace with a dell battery. I unplug and replug it in and it starts charging no problem. That's happened about 5 times in 4 months. so not really a big deal.
