Replacement Battery Inspiron Computers Lbz378d Survey So far, it works fine. Was used to replace a factory battery that barely lasted a year. I would have turned that over for Dell Support, but after dealing with Dell support before, It is much less hassle buying a new battery from someone else. Works great! My factory battery went out on me and needed an affordable replacement and this sure did the trick for me I purchased this battery for my computer based on good reviews. I then left for a 48 day cruise and the battery only gives me about one hour so I am quite unhappy with it, as I can't send it back (am in South America and on a cruise). I'm hoping I can send it back when I return. What a huge disappointment this battery has been. I would not recommend it to anyone. This battery was not purchased for me. Although, it was purchased by me under my amazon account for a family member that had an old dell inspirion m5030 laptop that no longer had a battery due to it's age. I have stayed in close contact with the end user to make sure that A. It worked upon arrival, B. How long of a charge it holds and how long it lasts compared to the Original equipment battery that was standard with his laptop. Although I have not witnessed any of this first hand, the user stated that the battery worked upon arrival and that it seems to hold a charge for a reasonable amount of time. Considering we are talking about going from not having a battery to at least giving him back his portability, I would call this a 4 star product. I can not rate the longevity of this product because the user has only had it for a couple of weeks as of 1/14/2013. Rest assured, if he tells me there is a problem I will be sure to follow up with an edit. If not, assume all is well! Came quickly, as advertised. After more than a month, battery is working great-- much better than Dell original battery that it replaced.
