Dell 5590 G5 battery upgrade

I am struggling to find a battery upgrade from a 4 cell to something longer lasting...any battery upgrades out there? Looked on the Dell site and they do not appear. Thanks Rav

    Welcome to the Dell Community @Rav11 

    Do you have an M.2 SSD installed,  a 2.5" HDD/SSD installed  or  both M.2 SSD and 2.5" HDD/SSD installed???

    Best regards,

    U2

    @U2CAMEB4ME You can remove the hdd anytime to replace the battery with the bigger one, the problem is though, you can't find replacement batteries.

    Thanks all.

    Something for Dell to work on then it appears.  A gaming machine needs a bigger battery in my view irrespective of how many drives it has or not.  Oh well, it is what it is.

    @Rav11 

    Agree:

    It is not a good design when you are limited to 1 drive to have extended battery life.

    The consensus is to take the drive as this conversation said, Dell have also confirmed the same.  I will manage the battery manually as I have already got SSD's upgraded and maxed out the RAM

    Battery would have followed suit.

    Thanks all as usual
