Dell Latitude batteries

[djones]

Has anyone got any recommendations for replacement batteries for Dell Latitude 5430 laptops? Always a bit wary of buying replacements as have had some dodgy experiences in the past. Originals are 60Wh 5350mAh 6 Cell Li-ion T54FJ

 

Thanks.

We always buy Dell originals. The few batches of third-party batteries we've had (I can't remember any specific brand names) seem to end up with quite high failure rates in comparison: communication errors with the laptop, batteries refusing to charge, etc. I wouldn't be too surprised if they're all using the same actual cells inside, but I've come to view third-party batteries as a false economy.
