Latitude 5450 Owners' Thread

Mine says: R0TMP with a DPN of 0WTG3T

Oddly, it now claims to be an E5450/E5550 battery online. It was not available when the E5450 was being sold in the US. I'll edit my post to reflect that. I ordered straight from Dell USA and it didn't come with the right cable for the battery (I got one from my original battery).

EDIT: other retailers claim it is also a part for the E5470, which was what Dell's website stated when I bought it. When I ordered it, I didn't know if it would work.

On mine, two of the screw holes are unused.

 

Thanks @jeremyshaw for the help. I got a recertified R0TMP battery with the same P/N so that helped me reach an unfortunate conclusion.

There was a defect with the unit I had. I ended up returning it after trying a couple of different batteries and battery cables. I tried around 5 of the latest BIOS revisions too and none of them would allow the battery to be recognized and charge. Pretty weird and frustrating because the battery would allow the system to run but the BIOS claimed it wasn't a dell battery and wouldn't charge.
