Dell XPS 15 Laptop Battery Replacement
Dell does not sell it. Contacted them many times and they haven't had it in years and read online others say the same unless you had warranty.
I checked online and there is a site called laptopbatteryexpress that seem to have excellent reviews. You can buy a battery for the xps 15 9550 for like 120 or 130 dollars depending on if you want the 84wh or the 97wh.
I did check old reviews from other sites a long time ago and someone mentioned in a mac forum that said uses garbage batteries like on ebay but charge retail prices. But when i check google and reviews, i see a ton of excellent reviews. Does anyone have opinion on this site? So from reading the site, these batteries are not geniune from dell but they are made by them... correct? But reviews seem to be superb. Has anyone bought any batteries from them and can give opinion? Price is pretty average i say... but how does it work?

I found 2 sites that seem to sell xps 15 9550 batteries. The first one is authentic as i believe lot of people mentioned this site earlier. It cost 150 dollars but it is genuine. They seem to have the 56wh and 84wh but the 56wh is not available now.

Does anyone know about laptopbatteryexpress? These don't seem to be authentic and seem to show made in samsung and shipped here. So are these very good but not premium? But they are selling at pretty close to retail prices so this is pretty good as well?

Now the big question i have is this. Does the xps 15 9550 allow a 97wh battery or not? Parts-people does not have a 97wh and doesn't ever have it. But laptopbatteryexpress has the 56wh, 84wh and even 97wh.
Can anyone here confirm the 97wh works for the xps 15 9550? Because i certainly wouldn't mind getting the 97wh over the 84wh if it cost a bit more.

I checked ebay and these are 2 sellers that have very good feedback overall. Lot of other sellers are selling this battery for like under 60 dollars and 50 and have not that great feedback so i avoid them.

But thoughts on this? I'm a little surprised the 2nd seller is selling the 84wg battery for only 65 dollars. That seems really low but not super low. He has tons of customers. But none of these sellers on ebay are selling original authentic batteries right?
Thus not even the laptopbattery site i posted earlier since they say they get it from korea where samsung makes it. So theres only 1 place that has authentic dell batteries and it's parts-people?
Is it risky using these 3rd party batteries? This laptop has lot of ppl complaining about battery swelling. I never had this issue though with my original battery or a replacement one i bought from ebay 1.5 years ago but the person i bought it from, they had perfect feedback and charged a lot more for it... so i know its most likely legit.
