Dell Inspiron N5010 Replacement Laptop Battery - Where to Buy?

The Dell Inspiron N5010 is now four years old.

It still runs (unsuccessfully) on the original battery. The battery is also four years old, but dead many times over. It is more like a really bad UPS.

On couple of occasions, I have attempted reviving it using the freezer method. It has not worked for me. Logically, it should have. But, it didn't. Do give it a shot, though.

It was time to buy a replacement, given the erratic Gurgaon power supply.

It was but natural to check out the big Dadas of e-commerce in India.

• Flipkart
• Ebay
• Amazon

 And all of them disappointed. Not in terms of price (can't complain on price), but in terms of TERMS.

Flipkart

Please refer this Link. These were the issues that dissuaded me from going ahead with it.

• 90 Day Warranty is not good enough
• Not all the User reviews were comforting

Ebay

The price was attractive, but not the seller. These were the issues that dissuaded me from going ahead with it.

• Seller categorically stated that the battery was NOT ORIGINAL. Whoa!
• See point above.

 

Amazon

Did not make it to Amazon. By that time, I was clear that I had to buy it directly from Dell.

Let's see how that works out !
