The original Dell battery swelled up and was replaced under warranty. The replacement battery lasted a couple of months and was so swollen it broke my keyboard and trackpad.
Dell support refused to fix it and couldn't provide me with a battery because they were completely out.
I tried 3 different vendors and all 3 batteries failed to work because Dell has battery DRM.
I can't even use it plugged in because the GPU/CPU throttle themselves without a battery hooked up.
My i7, 32gb ram, 4k laptop is a giant dud. Never again.
Just replaced the 97 WH battery on my Xps15 for the third time in 4 years, got the battery from third party on Amazon for $50, no issues, and the second battery lasted longer than the Dell OEM battery. Just search for 6GTPY. Not sure what DRM issue you ran into.
Install the Dell Power Manager application as it has very granular controls to allow you to maximize battery life and avoid the swelling issue. Good luck.
