Is this the extended life battery? and what does the DTGOV stand for?

I just examined the OEM battery that I received from Dell when I purchased my E6520. A Chinese company made my battery for Dell. DTG0V is the part number that the Chinese manufacturer used, and the M5Y0X is the part number assigned by Dell. Just two stickers on the same physical battery.

Hello John,It appears to me that the important letters & numbers are those at the upper right-hand corner, which tell you the model number of the battery and its capacity. While I am far from an expert, it appears to me that the long string of numbers & letters across the bottom is probably am internal mfg code or lot number or both. If your new battery makes your phone work, it is probably OK. Good luck! --AVB

To me, it lasts at least as the original when it was new and maybe longer. It is really hard to tell without all parameters being equal in a head on replicated test which of course i have not done. Under my normal use I am getting through the day every day and still have about 50% of the charge left, where as my old battery that was greatly reduced in its ability to function correctly was often not getting me through the day and in some instances dying during the morning hours. In the older batteries younger life it did last all day and I would then again charge it overnight.

Its been a while sense i last looked at it, and it is in my daughters laptop. I believe it is a after market battery, but it has fit as if it was a Dell and for a whole lot less. but if anyone wants to spend the extra money for a real Dell don't let me stop you.

It's a Samsung brand battery. That said, I have other batteries that run just as long as the Samsung brand, only difference is that they take longer to charge.

It is the standard battery. I haven't tried charging my extended battery with the unit. I'm sure it will work just as well.

No it is a re-celled battery and carries 4 yr warranty. I sent original in to get credit. No ans so far.

I have not had any issues with my extended life battery, but I only use it when I know I will not be around a charger. I usually just use the regular battery, for which I have a spare. I use the extended life only when needed.

I've only had this battery in operation for 1 season. It's out of the car for the winter. Life has a lot to do with usage. I feel that the life will last for several seasons but obviously it will take several years to confirm.

It's a speciality battery. I don't recommend this cart. It has not worked well for me. The wheels are running at different RPMs so it constantly pulls to the right and no amount of adjustment has helped.

Hi Matthew. I see where you are going with this. I don't see an actual date on the battery itself. This info may be part of a serial number or another code. I am finding that the replacement battery is not holding a full charge the way I think it should. My opinion is that replacing the battery is simply a temporary solution. Every once in a while I get a message that the battery has less than 5-minutes backup left. This is not right! When I am faced with having to replace it again, I would very likely buy the whole assembly new. Hope this helps.

I don't know, the one I had purchased was OLD, and the original battery had been installed, which leaked and rendered the unit unusable.

Not sure. My first battery lasted 6 years, and I was on the second (ordered from Amazon).

That is correct. The battery I received was an aftermarket battery - and as I said in my review, is probably only good for power outages as the charge is short-lived...

No - It's extra - and the manual says it should be a 500 CCA battery but my distributor only had 450 CCA batteries which of course they said would be "just fine". As it was tough to find Group 51 Batteries - I felt I had no choice but to fork out the $115 for a below specification battery. Of course the day after I installed it I found one Cheaper ($99 + tax) , 50 more CCA at the 500 CCA rating Specified by Kohler , Longer Warrantee ( 3yrs vs 1 yr ) AND it's at Walmart. MAXX Group 51 500 CCA . Nuff said!!

Ofir, I have a dv7 and it works fine. It makes it sit up a little higher in the back, but nothing else is different in the way the screen opens or closes. OH-it does last a lot longer than the factory battery ever did and mine came with the extended duty battery. HTH
