... Dell XPS M1530.

Dell have stopped doing 9 cell for some reason but only 6 cell. Does anyone know where i can get a GENUINE DELL M1530 XPS battery?

I ordered one from amazon but I sent it straight back. did not appear genuine and had alot of white marks around the battery.

Thanks

there is a difference between doing a search and actually finding a decent genuine source and not fraudulant sites.

Kelthic - thanks but thats not genuine.

i did not see anywhere on that page where it said "genuine" or "OEM" .

and there are 88 reviews, maybe there is a clue there

do a search and add the word " Genuine "

chuddds: sorry but you arent helpful. anyone could say its genuine and it may not be at all! saying "go search genuine" doesnt help either. i wouldve done that! But I did and couldnt find anything reliable hence why I posted on this forum!!!

kelthic - that is for US only :)
I rang dell and asked them and they said they dont do 9 cell anymore. the UK site shows the 9 cell but no option of ordering or even a hint of a price
