Battery?

DELL has started shipping 600m's with the 53Whr battery now my laptop has the old 48Whr battery. I could not find the new 53Whr battery in the Parts for Your DELL section of the Website so is there anyway to get this as a replacement battery? anyway?

    If Dell just started shipping laptops with the new battery, it may take awhile for it to become a part to order.

    ^^ True. Should be a nice addition though, how much do you think (approx) it will add to battery life on the 600m?

    I don't know but my 48Whr battery only does about 3:30 at most.(with wireless/wired networking on and screen set to medium brightness).

    The 4+hrs dell got with it was using wireless/wired networking off and screen set to lowest brightness!!!

    I think they started using the 53 WHr batteries for about two weeks or so. I ordered an I600m, and when configured online, I was getting a 48WHr, but the system mysteriously shipped w/ a 53 WHr battery. There is one way you can get it: call tech support, and ask for a battery replacement, and insist that you get the 53 WHr

    Hey Sterling254

    We appreciate your input to these forums but your sig is graphically immense.  Keep those in mind who don't have high speed access.

    When I ordered my 600m a couple weeks ago, I had to choose between the 48WHr and the 53WHr battery.  Duh?

    Hey Sterlin, suggestion on your sig for dial-up users (and for everyone elses sanity), take out the two blue flashing spec monitors under your spec list, we don't need to see your them twice! With just the White spec box and the link your sig will be fine.
