My laptop battery does not work. How can I deal with it?

I think you can donate to electronic shop but don't throw it. It will harm the environment. Gadget or battery must dispose properly so that we can help our mother nature.

yes,U R right!we do not harm our environment.you can donate the battery to recycle,and maybe have some useful materials to use after recycling.

you can either give it to charity people, reycling or keep it with you in case of emergency when the current battery stops working. or you may throw it away. the best is that you give it to recycling or charity

Do not throw. It will spoil the environment. Give it to Recyclers. I am sure you have them in your city. Yes, batteries stop working after 1 year so. My laptop battery too is showing signs of dying. I am also forced to consider replacing the same. Do any one of you know whether I can revive the existing battery???

hi there, well if your old battery isn't that bad you could use it as an alternate battery in case you are going somewhere out, it could be helpful that manner, good day.

Definitely donate it. These kinds of batteries are made with some pretty nasty stuff, e.g. Cadmium. If you're looking for recycling information http://www.earth911.com has a lot of information. Also, depending on which country you're in, there are recycling programs that accept these batteries for recycling free of charge.

You can send it to Dell . Maybe they replace it with the new one. :)

I tell you my laptop battery isnt working anymore for months now so its always plugged on electrical power always and i have no problem with it being like it is so far. Well yes i can't bring it outside my house anymore or use it anywhere i please but better than nothing. I just have the battery there inside and sometimes it gives me alert that its charging.

I faced the same problem, the dealer said, battery needed replacement, so i bought one new from him, he took the old one and deducted 200 rupees from the cost of new one, not a bad deal.. Thanks for sharing Cheers. God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’.

Well, throw it away should be the last choice for you. I think you can bring that old battery to DELL and find out that if they can replace or fix it for you. If not, give you old battery to some authority organization is much better than just throw it in to the trash.
