It cross-references dozens of Dell OEM part numbers including 310-4482, 312-0068, 4P894, and 6Y270. If your original part number is on that list, this cell fits the connector and BMS handshake without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInspiron 500m \/ 600m \/ Latitude D500 platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share the same 11.1V three-cell battery bay, connector pinout, and SMBus communication protocol. The BMS on all variants uses the same EEPROM address space, so the replacement cell negotiates charge state with the Dell EC firmware without any adapter or firmware patch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell on a Latitude D500 and Inspiron 600m unit. The BMS held charge termination correctly at 12.6V, and the SMBus reported capacity data to the OS within two full cycles. No fault flags triggered during motor-start equivalent load spikes on the bench.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-install calibration cycle on Dell notebooks:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting this cell, run the laptop on battery until it hibernates at the low-voltage cutoff — do not interrupt. Then charge uninterrupted to 100%. This forces the Dell BIOS battery learn cycle to update its stored capacity baseline against the new cell chemistry and clears the false \"poor health\" or \"consider replacing\" warning that appears after every cell swap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBIOS reporting battery health as poor immediately after replacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eDell's EC firmware stores the previous battery's EEPROM data — cycle count, design capacity, and health flags — and compares it against the new cell on first boot. A fresh cell with zero cycles reads as mismatched against the stored baseline, which triggers the health warning even though the cell is new. The fix is a single complete discharge-to-hibernate followed by an uninterrupted full charge. After that learn cycle, the BIOS recalibrates its stored data to match the new cell and the warning clears. If it persists beyond two full cycles, check the SMBus connection at the battery connector — a loose pin prevents EEPROM communication entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eLaptop shutting down at 20–30% shown on the fuel gauge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis is a voltage cliff issue, not a capacity fault. Under combined CPU and display load, the cell voltage drops faster than the fuel gauge IC can recalculate — the gauge still shows 25% but the cell is already below the 9.0V cutoff threshold the EC uses for emergency shutdown. It happens most often on the first few cycles before the fuel gauge IC has mapped the new cell's discharge curve. Run two full calibration cycles as described above. If shutdowns continue past cycle three, measure resting voltage after a full charge — it should read between 12.4V and 12.6V; anything below 12.0V at rest indicates a weak cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43410874466394,"sku":"BWCS-DED500-1","price":73.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43410874499162,"sku":"BWCS-DED500-2","price":86.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43410874531930,"sku":"BWCS-DED500-3","price":95.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-DED500-1.webp?v=1779581442","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/dell-inspiron-500m-replacement-battery-111v-4400mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
