Dell XPS M1730 battery problems:
Thats maybe the dell mainboard and adapter probelm : Just last night I started receiving a message saying, "The AC Power Adapter Type cannot be determined. Your system will operate slower and the battery will not charge. Please connect a Dell 230W AC Adapter or Higher for Best Results".

Customers Rating :

Doesn't hold much charge, maybe an hour (when it was NEW). Now that it is a year old, it holds ZERO charge. If I unplug my computer, the battery holds no charge and the computer crashes immediately. Poor quality, poor value.

The battery that came with my M1730 is so weak my computer shuts down 10 sec after I unplug it. I did not use the battery much - always plugged in. The price is absolutely ridiculous for something that only lasts a year and provides 1 hour of power.

In the end the xps m1730 battery is a new battery as sony VGP-BPS8 VGP-BPS9 VGP-BPS13.There maybe some replacement in the market, you can select a cheap replacement for your OEM battery when you long working with battery. As the frequent "long time discharging" can damage your OEM battery.
