40 Wh Li-ion replacement for Dell Inspiron

This 14.8 V lithium-ion pack delivers 2600 mAh across four cells. It fits a wide range of Inspiron 14, 15 and 17 models including the 3000 and 5000 series, plus select Vostro and Latitude units. The battery is supplied new and meets CE, FCC, ROHS and UL certification standards.

Replaces original Dell packs such as GXVJ3

Swapping a depleted or swollen original restores full mobility without adapter dependence. The upgrade is worth it when the existing pack no longer holds a useful charge or shows physical deformation. Compatibility covers dozens of part numbers listed by the manufacturer.

Limited to 14.8 V 40 Wh form factor

The pack cannot be used in laptops requiring a different voltage, capacity or connector layout. It is not suited for ultra-thin models that use custom-shaped cells or proprietary smart-battery protocols. Buyers needing higher capacity or a different voltage must seek an alternative design.
