Hey, I need to replace my Dell Vostro 3560 battery, my battery is labeled as Type 8858X, but is not available any more, found another battery labeled as Type DHT0W P.N. 312-1324. Are they fully compatible?
Unfortunately for a 6 year old computer, parts are not easily found. I was unable to locate an OEM battery for your system either from my usual sources.
Please use caution when purchasing batteries from an unknown or 3rd party source. There are several Chinese batteries out there that have allegedly caused fires.
If the battery is an original equipment replacement, with the same watt hours, etc. then it should be okay.
If you need further assistance, please contact me by Private Message and include your computer's Service Tag number. Thanks.
