Default Dell Battery Price increase
Okay, ill admit ive been looking at a new laptop battery for a while now
and after reading an article on laptop battery shortages i thought it was bs that they would raise the price till i saw

$200 for a 6 cell!!

Ouch, I'm really glad I managed to order my 9 cell for $200 just days before this happened rather than waiting.

That is expensive. I'm glad I took mine out of my laptop before it wears out.

Wow that is freakin steep! Given the margin on these, I wonder if you can talk a sales rep to help you out on the price...

Yeah, prices are getting higher and batteries are in short supply. It took Dell a week to get me an exchange battery for my m1530.

Holy cow! $200 for 6 cell and $300 for a 9 cell. I am glad that I ordered my Vostro with one of each (for additional $59 only). I paid only $700 for the whole thing with several upgrades already.

Lucky for me, I just grabbed the cheapest deal for my Dell XPS M1530. Now I carry 9 cell battery.
