I just received my battery in the mail. It fits my computer, but it has a big circular leg almost?? Makes my laptop sit crooked now??

This replacement battery has a larger capacity. It has an extra row of 4 batteries. 3 rows of eight. The base has pads, and is meant to lift your laptop at an angle. to allow for the extra capacity. Hope this helps as I replaced my wife's and she is okay with the tilt.

I have a Pavilion also and agree completely with your answer from H. Tilton. Unless yours is defective, it should get better cooling and storage performance as has mine.

If the battery fits and works, you have probably purchased a battery upgrade with much better performance (storage) that your old one.

Kay, when I first received my new cell I thought the same thing. However, after using it, I like the little angle of the keyboard. Also, it is probably more ergonomically correct.Bill

Yes it is suppose to do that. The battery is larger than your battery that came with the laptop. Since the laptop is tilted up now it will breather better.

I got the same thing. Didn't know it actually fit until I saw your question. while the leg seems to be in the middle of the laptop, it may actually help with heat reduction. Seeing how this works...

The battery is extended life. It is elevated and naturally helps with cooling. I also sit the laptop on an external fan. Overheated computers fail.To compensate for the tilt I just move the screen back slightly. It took a few days to adjust to the position.

I am using the same battery with my Latitude E6410. In actual sense, the length is same, but a bit wider, I guess it's because it is 9cell, and this makes it protrude a little at the back, but it's not a problem. But getting it to sit perfectly in the battery compartment the first time was kind of challenging. I think the problem has to do with some of the fitting extensions in the battery, and you may need to apply slight pressure and adjustment to get it to sit properly. Aside this, it is fine.

Yes it will stick out a bit since its a 12 cell battery. You wont be able to tilt your screen back as far as normal but it doesnt really take away from any viewing angles. Good battery. If you want an OEM get a 6 cell battery and it will be just like the one that came with the computer

I did some looking around, and I didn't see your model listed. You are usually safe when the model# is close such as dv5-1200dx, but I didn't see that either. Looking at another product that lists your computer specifically, the pictures look very close except a few ridges on the right. And we all know those insignificant little ridges will probably mean everything in order for it to fit right. You might get lucky with this one, but I would take a look at this other battery instead: http://www.amazon.com/Lenoge-Hi-Capacity-Replacement-dv4-1548dx-dv4-2141nr/dp/B00B4P11NK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1409041987&sr=8-4&keywords=12-cell+computer+battery+dv5-1235dx Good luck!

I'd make sure the battery was in correctly. It may just be a faulty fit bit and need to be returned.

The first battery I bought didn't quite fit. So I called the company direct and reordered the right size battery. It fits perfectly. The battery is fabulous and I can use my laptop a lot longer now. I would highly recommend this battery. Here is the number : 1-800-988-7973 (US) Mon-Fri 9am-5pm (PST) support@ianker.com

First confirm battery specifications in your computer stored info. If, in fact this model battery is called for, then I would order it. I have had no problems with my replacement battery. It is important that you exercise the battery regularly, (Use battery and then recharge, etc.) I can not confirm you will not have problems, only that I have not had any problems.

I'm sorry i can't be of any help but when i first ordered the battery it was to big to fitmy laptop i had to return it

It fits, but the battery that I received did not work with my laptop. I ended up buying a new laptop since I couldn't figure out whether the issue was with the battery or whether my laptop was done for.

The battery fits but is twice as thick as original battery. The back of the computer will sit that much higher. I have had mine for almost a year and have never discharged It all the way.

Try flippling the battery around a few times, as it only goes into the holder one way....there is a plastic spine down the middle of the battery on oneside that makes it asymmetrical....this battery did fit into my advent baby monitor when i purchased it a few months ago labeit the orientation needs to be correct.

Hmmm...this is so odd. Confirming my earlier post, the Asus is sitting on my lap right now w/ nothing between it and my legs except thin cotton yoga pants -- no problem at all. One would think all versions of this model would be the same, but clearly not. Glad I have a cool one!!! Still loving it after seven plus months, still recommending to anyone who'll listen, still truly awesome battery life.

I ordered this for my E5520...it looked the same as my original battery, but it would not mate up correctly with my laptop, so I sent it back. Company gave me full refund. I am afraid Dell is protecting their profits by not allowing you to buy anything but a genuine Dell battery.

My lap top model wasn't listed but the battery worked. Just make sure the product number from your old battery matches this one and you should be alright.

I believe the bump you are seeing is were this battery protrudes out of the back of the laptop. This extended battery has additional cells, and is large then your original battery.

I have the same laptop, and I bought this replacement battery. It works better than the original. Installed, it protrudes slightly from the bottom, and I found the new tilt of the computer to be better andmorecomfortable, for my use as well as my wife's. Good luck, you will love it.

They probably just chose a battery that looks similar, mine fits just fine, I've had no problems.
