Batteries last 18-24 months on average. You have a 7 yr old model long out of any warranty. It is not worth spending any money to replace the battery and you would not fine a genuine Dell replacement battery on such an old model. Batteries are warrantied only for the first year. No manufacturer covers batteries on old computers. Read the Dell info about batteries. It includes this--
Note: Like most laptops, Dell laptops use lithium-ion batteries, which can swell due to battery age, the number of charge cycles, or exposure to high heat. While a swollen pack does not represent a safety concern, you should not use damaged or swollen components. If you have an issue with a battery pack swelling, we recommend discontinuing use and replacing it with a Dell-authorized battery.
