Compatible Dell Laptop Battery
This 40Wh lithium-ion battery replaces the M5Y1K pack in Dell Inspiron 14, 15 and 17 models from the 3000 and 5000 series. It fits machines such as the 3451, 3552, 5558 and 5759 as well as Vostro 3458 and 3558 units. The four-cell design delivers 14.8V and 2600mAh for direct drop-in installation.
Voltage and Capacity Limits
The pack supplies 14.8V, which matches the original specification for the listed Inspiron and Vostro chassis. It cannot be used in systems that require a different cell count or voltage such as 20V configurations. The 40Wh rating defines the total energy available per charge cycle.
Runtime Expectations
A 40Wh capacity typically powers mainstream 15-inch laptops through several hours of office work or video playback. Heavy workloads such as sustained gaming or rendering will deplete the charge faster. The battery is not suitable for users who need all-day operation without access to mains power.
