    whatever u do, dont buy a used battery or one on ebay

    lion batteries start to lose their capacity once they're made.... [thats why theres a shortage of batteries, b/c dell cant ask their manufactuers to crank out 10 million batteries in the beginnign of the year and use the same inventory til the end of the year

    and m1330 batteries aren't compatible with m1530 batteries

    No, the battery shortage is from a fire in a South Korean plant.

    lol, they sell batteries for most other models but none for the m1530 in the uk , im guessing its because its one of the most bought models.

    as its cheap and good.

    i remember a year ago when i was about to buy , it was like only £25 extra for a 9 cell and now its £90


    so just wait it out til prices are low
