The battery works!

Product Uses:database management, reading, project management, developing giving presentations, surfing, all in office at home on road., streaming radio movies music
Review:Yes, this battery works. It provides me with about 2 to 4 hours of unplugged time depending on my use and recharges very quickly, less than an hour. On my Vostro 1500, I can change it one handed with the help of a table, chair or lap, useful at the airport.

Works well for old technology

Product Uses:power my laptop
Review:This battery, when fully charged, gives you about 3 hours of usage time when the Laptop is set to the High Performance option, which is probably good on a laptop that is about 4 years old. It is my personal opinion though that the price of the battery is too high.
As this was a replacement battery, I would have liked for Dell to send a return shipping label for the old battery so that it could be recycled by them.

Battery Replacement

Product Uses:everything
Review:We used our old battery until the laptop went to sleep as soon as the AC power adapter was unplugged. It lasted about 3 years. It's a shame these loose there capacity but I suppose you can't really get around it with any of the laptop batteries.

Replacement Battery

Product Uses:home use all types, work as back up
Review:Replaced orginal battery. This one lasts much longer then the one that came with the computer. Sticks out behind the back and is a problem getting in backpack or computer bag. I use the dead battery for transport. I use this computer at home and as a back up at work. It gets alot of use and longer battery life is a big plus.

Good original battery life; Expensive to replace

Review:The original battery in my Inspiron 1720 lasted for three years, which I thought was pretty satisfactory. The $155.99 cost to replace it almost prompted me to buy one of the smaller new laptops instead(which I didn't really want to do) at this time)use this 2007 model laptop a few more years, I'll be happy.

Long Lasting!

Product Uses:to be free ;)
Review:This battery lasted 2 or 3 years before it needed to be replaced. And it still was giving me about 45 minutes. Brand new I can get 2.5-3 hrs out of it. So this is my second battery. Great!

overheating problems. Battery or power cord?

Product Uses:trave 5 hours in car with kids!, School
Review:I bought my laptop about two years ago and am looking to replace my 85Wh already. I also have problems with the power cord overheating to the point that it is too hot to touch! When I went to replace the cord the first time I was told it was my battery that needed replacing after one year. I chose to just get another power cord anyway since the life was still long enough for what I do.
So after two years I am on my third power cord and am now looking to replace the battery and possibly the cord again since #3 is now overheating. If an extended warranty is available I suggest you get is since their products, the power cord under a year and battery for less than two years, don’t last as long as you think they would.

Great battery, much better than the old 6 cell

Review:Works great, lasts a ton longer than the 6 cell, It does stick out the back 3/4" but it doesn't bother me. Yes, it does cost $155.00 but look at as $10.00 a month and its seems like a steal to me. Buy it.

Laptop battery replacement

Product Uses:personal use - retiree
Review:Dell should be embarrassed to sell laptops for which the batteries have to be replaced after 2 years of use. And then charge $155 plus tax for a replacement battery. I have had many laptops in my career and have never had to replace a battery until owning this Dell Inspiron 1720. I won't buy another Dell until battery life is rated as "excellent" by the consensus of user reviews.

Power Whenever I Need It!

Product Uses:power on the go
Review:I recently purchased a 85 WHr 9-Cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery for my Dell Inspiron 1720 Laptop. What an awesome power supply tool. I really enjoy the Dell products I've purchased because of their quality and durability. In comparison to other companies, I've found Dell to be consistant with quality and durability in its products and also great prices. The opportunity cost of my decision to choose Dell products over other firms in the long run has been worth the investment. Quality and durability in Dell products has given me the greatest return on my investment. Cheers.

Solid Performer

Pros:I bought this as a backup when I travel. Most of the time I can leave my power cord home. My identical original is still giving me over 3 hours on a power saving setting, which is more than doubled with my new backup. The charge indicater on the battery is also a nice feature. 
Review:The size of the battery has never been a "con" since any case designed for a 17 screen can accomodate it.
