If your XPS or Precision no longer holds a charge, shuts down early, or SupportAssist flags “Battery needs replacement”, this guide helps you confirm the
6GTPY (≈97Wh, 11.4V, 6-cell) pack is correct, lists every compatible model/part number you supplied (non-omitted), and explains safe installation and fit notes.
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 around 20–60% reported level.
- “Plugged in, not charging” or percentage stuck while AC works fine.
- Dell diagnostics/SupportAssist warning that the battery health is poor or “Replace”.
- 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) Fit & size notes for the 97Wh pack
The 97Wh “long” pack occupies more internal space than smaller options. On some configurations, the 2.5-inch SATA bay is not present or must be removed to accommodate the 97Wh battery. If your unit currently has a 2.5-inch drive bay, verify the mechanical layout before ordering.
4) Confirm compatibility in 3 minutes
- Power off & unplug AC. Open the bottom cover and read the printed battery code: you should see 6GTPY or one of the spare numbers listed below.
- Note your laptop family/SKU. For example: XPS 15 9560/9570/7590, Precision 5510–5540, or Vostro 7500. 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 6GTPY fits.

8) Safe replacement steps (typical XPS/Precision with 6GTPY)
Tools: Phillips #0/#00 screwdriver, Torx T5 (for some XPS backs), plastic spudger, ESD strap recommended.
- Shut down Windows and unplug AC. Move to a static-safe surface.
- Remove bottom cover. Unscrew all screws (some XPS use Torx T5). Pry around edges with a plastic spudger; avoid metal tools.
- Disconnect the battery cable by pulling horizontally on the connector housing (not the wires).
- Unscrew and lift out the old pack. Track screw positions/lengths.
- Install the new 6GTPY. Seat flat, align posts, tighten evenly (do not overtighten). Reconnect the cable fully.
- Reassemble the bottom cover and screws. Reconnect AC and power on.
- Clear any BIOS battery messages; then boot to Windows.
Safety: If you suspect swelling, avoid pressing on the palmrest or touchpad; replace promptly and dispose via local e-waste guidelines.
9) 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.
10) Quick FAQ
Is 6GTPY the same as 4GVGH or 1P6KD?
They are cross-referencing spare numbers for the same 97Wh battery family. Match your label against the full part-number list above.
Will this 97Wh battery fit every XPS 15?
Most 9560/9570/7590 units accept the 97Wh pack, but configurations with a 2.5-inch bay typically cannot host the long pack simultaneously. Check your internal layout.
How do I be 100% certain before buying?
Open the bottom cover and verify your current pack label (e.g., 6GTPY/4GVGH/1P6KD/5XJ28) and confirm your exact laptop model appears in the compatibility section.
