Repaired under warranty.
Less than a year later that battery was swollen.
No warranty replacement. No OEM batteries available through Dell.
I buy 4 replacements from Amazon and none work. The XPS line has battery DRM.
I have an i7 with a discrete card, 64gb of ram, and a 4k screen that’s worthless.
I've seen quite a few various laptops with swollen batteries, and their users don't understand that can't habitually store their laptops in the sun (well, in sun rays through windows).
Those people also don't even realize their battery is swelling, and that it's a bad thing.
More importantly they can all accept 3rd party batteries.
Mine is sitting on a shelf. I can’t even use it without the battery because it throttles when the only power source is the charger.
I keep it around to maybe scavenge the 4k touchscreen for a project or the ram for a family member’s under-specced laptop or maybe one day someone will crack the battery DRM…
Good comment to cc: to your Congressional reps. Only legislation can fix this.
