Battery problem.

Hi
 
I have a faulty battery - Dell Battery Module Type 75UYF.  It appears that laptop reports a battery fault when used. Also the battery test button does not work.
 
Please can you let me know if I just need to contact Dell and they send out a replacement?  Who do I call?
 
Thank you

    Dell only offers a warranty of one year on laptop batteries.
    This holds true even if you have a three-year warranty on the laptop.

    The bottom line is if your battery is older than one year and it goes faulty then you'll have to buy a new one as Dell will not replace it under warranty.

    Unless you purchased this battery within the last 12 months, it is not in warranty - so Dell will not replace it. If it is that new, call Dell and get a replacement. Otherwise, you'll need to buy a new battery from Dell or a third party.
