Dell Latitude 5590 Battery replacement and Upgrade

I replace/upgrade the aging battery that was no longer holding charge , requiring the user to be plugged in all the time.

Great video! I should have been gentler prying off the back - I chipped a corner.

Thanks the video. Pc was hung and needed the battery disconnected.

I needed the spudger to get the darn screws out. They were buggers!

[@JohnDoe-hs1jp]

Was your battery swollen when this happened?

[@inteRUSSting]

@@JohnDoe-hs1jp It was not.

[@JohnDoe-hs1jp]

@@inteRUSSting Oh. I had the same problem, but I thought it was due to my swollen battery.

[@inteRUSSting]

@@JohnDoe-hs1jp For me it was the ends of the screws. It was like they were made to purposely not come the whole way out of the case.

[@thingsconsidered2901]

Yes..that maybe true.

Can a six cell battery be used too?

[@thingsconsidered2901]

if its on the support page , yes

You cannot replace 11.4V with 7.6V. This replacement will overload the battery controller and cause it to fail in the near future.

[@thingsconsidered2901]

What do you mean...? I just replaced it and it worked. Some of us follow the manufacturer recommendations.
It is not a question of if. it is a question of when. all electronics will fail

​@@thingsconsidered2901 I have the same model Del Latitude 5590 as yours and want to upgrade the battery but still confused if it is ok to replace a 11.4V battery with 7.6V. After replacement is your system still working fine ?

@@Zmintz My System works fine. I will replace with whatever Dell Recommends.
