Latitude XP450C

If your laptop doesn't seem to last as long on battery power, your original battery might be nearing the end of its lifespan. The run-time will gradually become shorter until you are left with a battery that won't take a charge at all. There's no reason to tether yourself to an outlet, however, and you don't have to buy a new computer. Replacement Dell laptop batteries are available to keep your laptop running so you don't have to slow down for a moment.

The replacement batteries for the Latitude XP450C are nickel cadmium batteries. Designed to provide you with all the amp hours you will need, they are powerful and designed especially for your computer. However, they will require some special care.

NiCad batteries require regular charge and discharge cycles to prevent the misery of memory effect. The battery should be discharged until the computer shuts down and then it should be left to charge for a minimum of 16 hours. Do this three times in the first few days after you receive the battery and then again once every few weeks thereafter.
