smjrm Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop. It's only a year old and the battery is dying already. Does that seem a little too soon to need to replace it? On their web site they have a couple of different ones but it looks like they're about $150! Any way to get one cheaper?

mrn8 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Here's one for about $77 shipped. http://www.simplemicro.com//replacement-u4873-battery2.html&ca=goppc?gclid=CJ7q-Ozg24kCFQ6kWAodFXMIEQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjrm Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 Thank you so much! I'll look at it now! ETA: I see they have $10 off with Google checkout too! I haven't used it yet so it would make this only $59 plus $6.75 shipping. I was afraid they might be refurb or something, but it guarantees they're new. Thank you so much!!

cwdrake Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Check here to see if your battery is on the recall list. If it is, you might be able to get it replaced for free! http://www.dellbatteryprogram.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjrm Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Thanks for th recall info but I checked when it was first announced and it wasn't included. Darn! But, I guess it can't hurt to check again just to be sure! I would love to get one free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
