    So slightly after 2 years of ownership, my M1330 6 Cell battery has over 70% wear on it and would like a replacement. After searching it appears most people have issues with non-OEM batteries and recommend buying from dell. However, due to the age of the laptop, I can not justify spending an additional $150+ from Dell for a new OEM battery. In addition Ebay does not appear to have any new OEM batteries that ship from the US for any cheaper.

    Does anyone have any experience with any non-OEM battery or any ideas where to find a cheaper genuine battery? I did locate this website that appears to sell a non-OEM that states Panasonic cells and appears legitimate. does anyone have any experience with them?

    11.1V 58Whr Li-Ion 6 cell Laptop Battery for Dell XPS M1330 manufactured by Amstron

    Thank for your help,
    Ryan

    I have an unused 9-cell M1330 battery from Dell, I can sell it to you if you like.

    I bought a genuine battery from China for about £30 incl postage and it has worked perfectly. The person I bought it from doesn't have any for this laptop at the mo but there are a few other retailers on there selling similar. Ebay can be a bit hit / miss so be careful.
