Although unsupported the part is available on crucial here.
Sometimes you can put more memory in than Dell state as maximum, I have put 4 GB in an older laptop that stated 2 GB was the maximum and could use 3.25 GB fine.

I upgraded to an e6530 and I was able to swap out the two 4gb memory modules with two 8gb memory modules.
Everything is working great and I hadn't noticed any decrease in battery. I do run in max performance mode all the time and my battery has lasted as long as 3 hours. Usually, i'll get 40% battery drop after an hour of heavy use (running multiple vm and developing code).

nope... you just need to check your CPU to verify the max ram.
As soon as I put it in, the BIOS picked it up and it was available in Windows. I think both memory sticks need to be identical. I bought a 2x8 16gb kit from Microcenter.
To found what is the maximum memory that your machine can support check your CPU version
in my case i have a intel i7-2720QM, Dell say that my E6520 support a maximum of 8 GB but intel say that with this CPU it can support a amount of 32 GB
