15 R3, 2016, replacement battery?
Alienware 15 R3
My battery is not holding a charge and presently I can only work when the laptop is plugged in. I've been trying to find a replacement battery and have been told there isn't any? Can someone tell me where I can get a new battery? The laptop is working fine with no other issues.

You may have a hard time finding a new OEM battery for this system due to its age -- usually new batteries are only available for 3-4 years after a notebook is released.

Take precaution while working on your 15 R3 as the battery removal would required your laptop disassembly. Refer to the service manual for instructions https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/alienware-m15-r3-laptop/alienware-m15r3-service-manual/removing-the-battery?guid=guid-c8047328-56ec-4111-bf37-622c249aeb52&lang=en-us
