Does this look like the correct battery?

Look like it, but I don't know if I'd get a battery off ebay, rather get a genuine one from dell.

Ya, from my current location it's too much work to try and do that.

I second that.



Don't you have Dell reps in your country?



Have you at least tried?

I appreciate the input guys, but it's not an option. I can't really explain how things like that this can be too much hassle in a city where no one speaks your language.



I just want to make sure it's the correct battery and not the one for the old m15x.

ok, in that case you should wait until you get more input from the experts.



Looks like the right one to me, but I'm not that familiar with different M15x builds...

That's definitely the one for the newer M15x (the Area-51 battery has a totally different shape). For some reason all the genuine Dell batteries I've seen, both 6 and 9 cell, say "Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery" on the label, while the ones I've seen on e-bay all have an "SMP" logo. I have both 6 and 9 Cell batteries and they both say "Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery" and they have a Dell sticker with part numbers on both. Looks like SMP is some battery manufacturer that makes after-market batteries. The SMP one does appear to have a Dell parts sticker on it as well though. My advice is to wait for one to show up F/S here or on e-bay. I've had bad experiences with Chinese batteries off e-bay before, even the ones that claim to be genuine.

non oem batteries can cause the plug in and not charging problem so beware.

Ok, that's what I wanted to know. I guess I'll see if I can find someone to order from the locate Dell site for me.

You can always get it here for $179.99. Says it usually ships within 24 hours.
