Hi I've had this laptop for almost 2 years now. I got it in 2017 and everything has been working fine, but recently my battery has been less than great. I was looking at replacements and I saw the 56wH battery available.
I was wondering if it's a good idea to buy that one and install it on my laptop. I don't know if there's any repercussions in the BIOS or what.
I have the i7 8550u variant with an SSD and a 42wH battery. I'm not planning on ever putting a hard drive in because I routinely clean out my laptop to an external hard drive. So I don't mind the battery covering some of the hard drive space.
So should I get the 56wH (if it can support it) or the 42wH?
Oh nice thank you for the PDF as well. My laptop came with the 65W AC adapter so I assume it'll be ok to install the 56wH battery over my old 42wH one. Thanks for the info.
I am facing the same problem at this moment, thus also requiring a battery replacement (opting for the 56 wH instead of my current 42 wH). Could you specify where you bought this 56 wH battery?

Welcome to the Dell Community @NaniLeHeck
Yes you should have no problem using the 56WHr battery???
The only thing is would you also need the 65W AC adapter???
I am not sure if the 65W AC is for the UHD touchscreen and NVidia controller or for the larger battery???
