Dell 1P6KD - Battery 84Whr 6 Cell - Warranty: 6M

Product Information

I do, however, agree that Dell should be more transparent with these battery usage scenarios in their advertising. Any compromises I have made in my machine function don't affect my day to day computer activities, but I realize other folks needs are different.

I try to reduce my electronic waste as much as possible so I would love to keep working on this one for 2 or 3 extra years. But considering the curiosity I had noted in the system tray readout for Open Hardware Monitor, I decided to reenable the GPU and disable/exit Open Hardware Monitor. Well, the user could replace them if Dell made them available for a reasonable period of time (expected laptop lifetime). I don’t know the precise method of causation but I determined the solution by troubleshooting the problem as described in my first post. Akash T (4/24/2019, 4:16:24 PM): Well, you know now by seeing the system that the battery is swollen.I suggested previously that perhaps other utilities that perform this temp monitoring function could cause issues too, but I don’t know this to be the case. I know that the fixations aren't exactly the same, but if this is the only problem, I can deal with it.

Batteries in constant use do not usually last for over 2 yrs especially now that the design of the battery case has changed. I mentioned this so those that are using Open Hardware Monitor and perhaps other GPU monitoring tools can be aware of this and check their own systems. If you’re already an Xbox Live Gold and/or Game Pass for Console/PC member, any days remaining in your membership(s) will be converted to Ultimate using a conversion ratio. As you can see my discharge rate for a system in idling mode without using the GPU was rather high and stays that way.Please look for the full model number of your laptop, usually located on a label on the underside of the laptop or inside the battery compartment ( Do not rely on the number printed on the screen or keyboard bezel as this is usually a series number). I am very stoked that the small change I made has more than doubled the time I can use my XPS 15 under battery power. I automated it by writing a batch file that runs the powercfg program and then ports the output to Edge. Replacement M5Y1K Battery for DELL Inspiron 3558 / 5559 / 5759 / 3570 / 5558 / 3470 If your Inspiron is the beating heart of your home life or business, you can't afford the setbacks caused by a poor-quality or expired battery.

One other thing you may check out is the functionality under Windows 11 that allows you to decide what software utilizes the discrete GPU. Just got off the phone with CS, they refused to acknowledge any issue despite quoting others' issues directly from these forums, including dell offering to replace them for free out of warranty. Exactly the same issue, the trackpad have been in bad shape for a long time, I didn't realize the battery is the problem until the 3-year prosuport plus service expired two months ago.This is a high capacity(91Wh) battery,it's longer than the standard 61Wh battery, and it will take up the installation position of mechanical hard disk or DVD-ROM drive. I do not know why this occurs, but I suspect that Open Hardware Monitor's interaction with the GPU somehow causes the GPU to cycle on and off: hence the GPU temps in the tray cycling also.

Look for a third party battery with good reviews -- there are some decent ones from suppliers that will stand behind them. Battery Rundown Test: After fully recharging the laptop, we set up the machine in power-save mode (as opposed to balanced or high-performance mode) where available and make a few other battery-conserving tweaks in preparation for our unplugged video rundown test. Then I realized that disabling my nvidia MX550 card helps to drop discharge rate from 30kMW to 15-20kMW. The Intel Skylake component was previously reporting high temperatures (70C-80C) even when computer was idle - this has also gone away with new battery. Failure to perform a full charge on receipt may cause the voltage to drop below a safe charging level which will trigger the safety fuse, voiding any guarantee.What’s more, you should avoid recharging it till exhausting battery power, because it will bring to much damage. NOTE Control the charging time, duration, start and end time, and so on using the Dell Power Manager application.
