These batt explode, done short anything, don't overcharge, these batts like 1 degree C as in heat either from the inside or out side, if they get warm to the touch, your doing something wrong, STOP Now.. THEY Will Blow UP in your face !
This a common problem for all recent Dell laptop models. I have a Inspiron 1501 and the same thing happened to my battery. When I bough my laptop I was offered a great deal on a second battery so I bough one as a back up. Since the laptop only takes one battery at a time I only took the second battery with me on long trips. Even though the seconds battery only got occasional BOTH batteries died within days of each other and both mere days after I had them for 1 year. I find it odd that BOTH batteries would die at the same time. If you do a search for the terms DELL BATTERY NOT RECOGNIZED you'll see that a lot of other Dell laptop users are finding that they Dell batteries are dying at the 1 year mark.Dell 1691P Battery, Dell 75UYF Battery, Dell 5081P Battery Dell 6T473 Battery There is a work around that proves that these batteries still have a lot of life left even tho the BIOS says that they are dead. This makes me think that either there is a bug in electronics on the battery that monitors the battery health or Dell intensionally built a 1 year death switch in to the batteries. Which ever the case is Dell needs to correct this situation.DELL Inspiron 630m adapter DELL Inspiron 6400 adapter 

I've recently hit the year and half mark with my Dell laptop and I'm running in to problems with my AC adapter.Dell 5081P Battery The laptop doesn't recognize it and the laptop won't allow it to allow my new battery to charge! If I want be able to change my laptop battery I need to buy another AC adapter from Dell as third party adapters won't be recognized. A new Dell AC power adapter is only $70 but feel like I am being nickel and dimed to death by Dell. It would be one thing if these parts were broken and no longer worked but they still work! They just aren't being recognized.

This is the very last laptop I buy from Dell and my very well be the very last computer that I buy from them. The next time thing anything isn't recognized on this laptop I am going to part it out on eBay! Hopefully by parting out my laptop other Dell laptop owners will be able to get a little more life out of their laptop without having to pay Dell to be able to use their own laptop for another year.

Don't skimp on your battery. If you choose the lowest-cost battery you'll probably get a battery that degrades quickly, and you'll end up buying a replacement too soon anyway. So spend the money now to save expense and frustration down the road.
Don't buy an expired battery. A good indicator of a battery's performance is how far into its product life it is, whether it's used or new. If possible, look at the bottom of the battery and find the manufacture date.DELL Inspiron 6000 adapter DELL Inspiron 600m adapter
We just reviewed a new retail-specific version of Dell's popular Inspiron 1525 laptop, and found ourselves wondering why this new system's battery life was so poor compared to its very recent (and largely identical) predecessor. How can two versions of essentially the same laptop have a difference in battery life as big as the 3-hour vs. 2-hour one we found? We looked a little closer and found a potential culprit.

weather it's weak or not a well batt do this,Dell 1691P Battery, you can charge the batt for a hour, use it for a few minutes, then take it apart, and measure the voltage across each set , when you find lower voltage in one set out of all the sets, those 2 need to be replaced, and them the batt shoud last another year till the next set goes.

the outline is that not "all the cells go bad at the same time", Dell 1691P Battery, Dell 75UYF Battery, Dell 5081P Battery Dell 6T473 Batteryit only take a weak cell in the chain or series set for the batt to be not useable and then the whole batt looks or seem dead DELL Inspiron 1300 adapter DELL Inspiron 1501 adapter

order some 18650 cells w/ tabs at 2300ma x 2 as a set = there 4.4 amp batt.
laptop batts are made to drain at 1300 ma MAX. for each 18650 cell, in parral

of course its easyier to find a weak cell if the whole batt is under a small load, this goes for any multicell series battery. you might try a 25 watt christmas tree bulb to make a load after you find the red + and the blk - main output of the apart batt, the light doesn't glow sence it's a 120v bulb, will just gives the regular comsumer away of getting a load to make finding the weak pair easyier.

Take Care, and be careful not to draw more than 1300ma out of the batt under the load, do this at your own risk, but this will save you alot of $$ if you get good at it, a 25 watt bulb should draw about 400 ma. out of the batt while your on the meter moving and comparing the sets of batts, you should see a big difference when you find the bad set.

replacements are on ebay for about $5 each , get the tab ones, solder the new ones in and charge over night and you sould be in good shape if you replaced the correct set.

it would cost you much more that $45 to replace all of them if you had a 14.8 v batt, 6 of them if you have a 11.1 laptop batt, with 2300ma high output cells each,Dell 75UYF Battery, try the 2200ma ones first, there cheaper and good for the first experiment.DELL Inspiron 9200 adapter DELL Inspiron 9300 adapter DELL Inspiron 9400 adapter

all sellers and manufacturers LIE about their products, a 2200ma batt is really a 1800ma one, ect. only 1 batt out of 10,000 made can achive their advertized spec. if there lucky.
