Replacing the Dell Precision 7540 battery

powercfg /batteryreportand compare full-charge capacity with design capacity, or use our battery health analyzer. - • Replace when full-charge capacity is near 60-70% of design (about 63 Wh on a 97 Wh pack) or the laptop shuts down early.
- • A swollen battery is a fire risk: stop charging it and bring it in. Do not press the case back down.
- • Buy the same capacity and part number as the old pack. A bigger factory option (97 Wh) only fits if the model was sold with it and the bay has room.

Dell's spec page lists 64 Wh or 97 Wh for the Dell Precision 7540 (4-cell 64 Wh or 6-cell 97 Wh (97 Wh also as Long Life)). The capacity of yours is printed on the battery label and shown as "design capacity" in a Windows battery report.

Estimated for a new 97 Wh pack at about 60% brightness: 6 h 35 min of browsing or office work, 4 h 50 min of video calls and 1 h 20 min of gaming. With the 64 Wh option, office work drops to about 4 h 20 min. These are estimates from typical power draw, not measurements.
