If your Inspiron or Latitude drains fast, shuts down early, or Windows reports “Battery needs replacement”, this guide shows how to confirm the
WDX0R (≈42Wh) is the correct pack, lists every compatible model/part number you supplied (non-omitted), and explains safe installation.
1) When it’s time to replace the battery
- Runtime collapse: Drops from hours to minutes, even after a full charge.
- Early shutdowns: Powers off at 20–60% reported level.
- “Plugged in, not charging” or stuck percentage; AC OK but pack won’t take charge.
- Windows/Dell diagnostics warning that the battery health is poor or “Replace battery”.
- Physical swelling signs: Bottom case/trackpad bulge, click issues—replace immediately.
2) Quick battery diagnosis checklist
Tick what you’ve observed. If you select 2 or more, replacing the pack is strongly recommended.
3) Confirm compatibility in 3 minutes
- Power off & unplug AC. Open the bottom cover and read the label on your battery. You should see WDX0R or WDXOR (and one of the spare numbers listed below).
- Note your laptop family/SKU. For example: Inspiron 5368/5378/5379, 5570/5579, Latitude 3189/3390, etc. Cross-check below.
- Match both your battery’s spare number and your exact model against
Replacement Part Numbers and Full Compatible Models. If both match, this WDX0R fits.

7) Safe replacement steps (typical Inspiron/Latitude with WDX0R)
Tools: Phillips #0/#00 screwdriver, plastic spudger, ESD strap recommended.
- Shut down Windows and unplug AC. Work on a static-safe surface.
- Remove bottom cover. Unscrew all base screws; some models hide screws under feet. Pry gently with a plastic spudger.
- Disconnect the battery cable from the board by pulling horizontally on the connector housing.
- Unscrew and lift out the old pack. Keep track of screw lengths/positions.
- Install the new WDX0R. Seat it flat, align posts, tighten evenly, reconnect the cable fully.
- Reassemble the bottom cover and screws. Reconnect AC and power on.
- If BIOS/SupportAssist shows battery messages, acknowledge and continue to Windows.
Safety: If you suspect swelling, do not press the palmrest/touchpad; replace promptly and dispose via local e-waste guidelines.
8) Post-install: calibrate & care
- Charge to 100% and keep charging for 30–60 minutes.
- Use on battery to ~10–15%, then recharge to 100%. Repeat 1–2 cycles so Windows relearns capacity.
- For longevity: avoid high heat and constant 100% under heavy load; ensure ventilation.
9) Quick FAQ
Is WDX0R the same as WDXOR?
Yes—both codes refer to the same Dell 42Wh battery family. Match with the spare numbers and laptop list above.
My Latitude 3590 has a 56Wh pack. Will this fit?
No—the list explicitly notes the 56Wh Latitude 3590 version does not match this 42Wh WDX0R form factor.
How do I be 100% certain?
Open the bottom cover and verify your current pack label (WDX0R/WDXOR) and a matching spare number from the list, then confirm your exact laptop model in the compatibility section.
