1. How long does a Dell laptop battery last? When should I consider replacing mine?
All rechargeable batteries wear out over time and use. With time and cumulative use increase, performance degrades.

• laptop batteries, including those stored in laptop systems, should maintain an Operational Storage Temperature 0 to 35 C (32 to 95 F).
• Batteries can be stored on the laptop or outside of the laptop.
Charge batteries before storing. The recommended charging time should not exceed 1 hour. Normally, this should charge the battery between 80% and 100%. (Some discharge will take place over time. Batteries stored is expected to discharge 10-15% over a period of four months, for information.)
