Review on Replacement 97Wh Laptop Battery For Dell XPS 15 9560/9550 And Precision 5510/5520/M5520 (6GTPY) Compatible With I7-7700HQ And 5XJ28/I5-7300HQ (Longer Model, Not For SDD/HDD Laptops) by Keyone Brownlee

Works well in Dell XPS 9560

I installed this 6GTPY equivalent in a Dell XPS 9560 to replace the original battery pack (which was expanding and lifting up the trackpad). I paid a little more for CREATESTAR in the hope of better sourcing for the Li-Ion batteries and overall construction, while still being cost effective.So far so good (little over 1 month in): Battery holds a good charge (seeing 6-8 hrs on Windows 10 battery-saver mode, 3-4 hours in other modes) and no sign of expansion. I’d expect this to last 1-3 years, similar to most Li-Ion batteries. Only minor note is the battery cable (on mine at least) has the bend at a slightly different spot than the original; for the XPS 9560 use some care in install to bend it around the inductor rather than over the inductor.Battery came in a box along with a small toolkit with the right screwdrivers for install, and the old battery can be stored in the box until disposal (to be clear the box is not fire safe, but it’s better than out in the open).
