| Was sent Dell battery rather than Lenmar and fitted perfectly. However, after two and a half months, the battery was dead and wouldn't hold any charge at all. |
Poor long term life

| This batter fits well in a Dell 6000 and I have had no problems with it when I first bought it. The batter had about 2.5 hour run time at first. It worked well for a few months. But now about 6 months later it has a 5 minute life which was very dissapointing since the Dell OEM battery lasted almost 2.5 years. The computer is used allot with at least 1 to 2 charge cycles a day. For about $60 this Lenmar battery you might get 6 - 12 months of use. For a Dell OEM you will see around 2 to 3 years of use. For the money buy OEM unless you need a cheap short term solution. |

| Buying this battery is a much better option than paying Dell over twice as much for a new one, but be aware that it will not last as long as a brand new battery would. I get close to two hours of battery life with it, and I expect to be able to use the battery for roughly 1 1/2 years before it will no longer hold a charge. Since my laptop is already close to four years old and I intend to buy a new laptop in the next year, this battery was perfect for me, but buying a new battery from Dell might be a better option for those who intend to use their laptops another three years and are looking for more than two hours of battery life. However, I find it so outrageous that Dell charges so much for new batteries that I would just buy another one of these batteries if I did intend to use my laptop more than another year. |
Poor recharge after 1month of minimal use

| Extremely annoying to buy a battery and then not have it charging after a month or two. I guess you just have to go straight to Dell to get a good battery. |
Just a battery

| I've had this replacement battery for a couple of weeks now, fully discharged it more than once, and am getting about 1.5 hours of operating time. Not great, but better than the "dead" battery I just replaced! Now, let's see how long this one lasts (the 1st replacement I purchased lasted about 18 months). |
