40Wh 14.8V Replacement Battery

This 40Wh lithium-ion battery operates at 14.8V and contains four cells. It is built as a direct replacement for Dell Inspiron 14, 15 and 17 models in the 3000 and 5000 series as well as select Vostro 14 and 3558 units. The pack measures 10.6 by 1.5 by 0.75 inches and ships new with a manual.

Capacity and Runtime

The 40Wh rating and 2600mAh capacity restore the original runtime spec for the listed notebooks. It comfortably powers daily office work, web browsing and video playback. Heavier workloads such as sustained gaming or video rendering will deplete the charge faster than the original higher-capacity packs offered on some configurations.

Upgrading from Worn Packs

This unit replaces Dell part numbers including M5Y1K, P51F, VN3N0, GXVJ3, HD4J0, 453-BBBQ, 451-BBMG and 991XP. The jump is worthwhile when the original battery no longer holds a useful charge or the laptop shuts down unexpectedly on battery power. It is not suited for machines that require a higher-wattage or different-voltage pack.

Questions about this item

Will the 14.8V 40Wh M5Y1K battery fit my Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series 5558 alongside the original charger?

Yes, the 4-cell lithium-ion pack replaces part numbers including P51F and 451-BBMG used in the 5558, and it charges through the laptop's existing 14.8V rail.

How can I confirm the 2600mAh M5Y1K is working correctly after I install it?

The battery should report 14.8V and near 40Wh in the BIOS or Dell Power Manager, and the laptop should run on battery alone without shutting down.

Does the M5Y1K package include screws or tools for the 3551 chassis, or just the battery?

The box contains 1 M5Y1K battery and a manual; mounting screws and any pry tools are not included and must be sourced separately.
