m15 R5, battery replacement question
Hi, I have the alienware m15 r5 and the battery is starting to die on me. It's not terrible at the moment but I know I'll need to replace it soon.
My question is, are there any upgrades for the battery like longer life, or will I need to just do a same type replacement?

There is no LL battery available for this model. There are two battery options for the m15 R5, a 3-cell, 56 Wh and a 6-cell, 86 Wh.
Currently, you can get a 6-cell battery at the same price as the 3-cell battery from Dell online store

Thank you so much for the quick reply! I currently have the 86wh so I'll just swap it out for a new one. Thank you!
