I bought a Latitude E5250 about 5 years ago. I love the computer, and it only needs a few tweaks.

First, it came with a 38WH battery, which has died. I made the mistake of ordering a 51WH replacement (the site said it would fit my computer) but it is too large because I have a standard hard drive. I'm a bit perturbed with Dell's return system and wonder if there are any reliable aftermarket manufacturers that I could pick one up from.

Also, I currently have 4GB RAM, so I ordered the 8GB memory update. It isn't in yet, but are there any issues I should be on the look out for when I attempt to install it?

Thanks!
