Compatible replacement for Inspiron 5481

This 42 Wh lithium-ion battery restores mobility to a Dell Inspiron 5481 that no longer holds a charge. It matches the original 11.4 V specification and uses a three-cell layout to fit the factory battery bay without modification.

Drop-in fit with existing hardware

The pack connects to the same motherboard header and uses the original mounting points, so no extra cables, brackets or firmware updates are required. Swapping the old unit frees the notebook from permanent wall power and returns full portable operation.

Steady output through a work session

Rated at 3500 mAh, the cell chemistry delivers consistent voltage across the discharge curve rather than a brief peak followed by rapid sag. This behaviour supports uninterrupted productivity until the operating system initiates its low-power state.

Questions about this item

How long will the 42Wh capacity last under continuous load?

The 42Wh rating means the pack can deliver roughly 42 watts for one hour; actual runtime depends on the laptop’s power draw at that moment.

Does the 11.4V lithium-ion pack run hot or loud during all-day use?

Batteries have no moving parts and generate minimal heat under normal discharge; the laptop’s own cooling system manages any warmth.

Must my Inspiron 5481 already have a 3-cell bay to fit this VM732?

Yes — this is a 3-cell, 11.4V module designed for the Inspiron 5481 chassis; verify the original part number 0VM732 matches.
