Windows 10: My Dell XPS 15 laptop was running on 0% for a while and now the brightness is barely...

My laptop’s battery is really bad and only lasts me around 2-3 hours until it hits 0%. Usually it still runs on 0% and I continue to use it through the rest of the day because I have school. Today however, it was running on 0% as usual and I had to close my laptop for something but when I opened it back up 5 minutes later, the screen was barely visible. I got home and charged it but the screen isn’t changing back to its normal state.What should I do?

Dell XPS 15 Laptop Battery Replacement

Yes go for the appropriate 512 GB or 1 TB M.2 SSD that suits your needs.

You have a Dell XPS 15 9550 laptop.
--- What is the original battery part number and the replacement part number?
Look on the battery itself and also in the battery compartment for that information.

In my post #3
Dell xps 15 9550 specifications are designed for 56 WHr or 84 WHr.

--- Check it out in the battery section.

In your post #14 "But for the 2nd link that is what im not sure of. Because even though they sell the 97whr, from the manual someone mentioned, 9550 only works with 56wh and the 84wh. But some ppl on forums said they put a 97wh battery that i believe is a 9560 battery into the 9550 and it works. So because of that, thats why im curious because having a 97wh over 84wh battery is obviously a bit better."
--- That's fine for those who have been successful at it but compare the power ratings of your system to what a 97 Whr Capacity requires.
--- I wouldn't consider one w/o finding out first from Dell and ask them about applicable information.

In each one of the recommendations of the various posts, the applicable battery part number(s) are included.

On this one, you can also have it verify the compatibility for your laptop.
New Dell OEM Original XPS 15 (9550) / Precision 15 (5510) 6-Cell 84Wh Extended Battery - 4GVGH
New Dell OEM Original XPS 15 9550 Precision Battery 4GVGH
--- Dell Part Number/SKU: 4GVGH

EDIT
I just found the Dell Precision 5510 Owner's Manual and it lists only 56 WHr or 84 WHr also just like your Dell OEM Original XPS 15 (9550)
Maybe there's hope for your laptop for 97wh battery after all.
I recommend you call the Dell parts store and get the information you need to know.

“Hey. Well my issue is this. I am planning to travel to the US for a short while only and after i get my computer parts put in.. I will be outside the US again. So i can't really do the 30 day thing etc.”
--- Understood.

I’m under the impression this is the laptop battery you are interested in.
--- If you decide on a different battery, the same principle applies.
NEW OEM ORIGINAL DELL XPS 15 9550 Laptop Battery 11.4V 84Wh 1P6KD 4GVGH
NEW OEM ORIGINAL DELL XPS 15 9550 Laptop Battery 11.4V 84Wh 1P6KD 4GVGH 695976795427 | eBay
… 4GVGH is for the 84Wh and it’s a 4-cell unit but I’d also recommend the correct AC adapter at the same time.
In post #23 you mention “My laptop 56whr battery is RRCGW”, that matches this eBay item also.

Switching back to Parts People The Dell experts since 2002
New Dell OEM Original XPS 15 (9550) / Precision 15 (5510) 6-Cell 84Wh Extended Battery - 4GVGH
New Dell OEM Original XPS 15 9550 Precision Battery 4GVGH
Note it applies for both your Dell XPS 15 9550 laptop as well as a Precision 15 (5510)
--- In their case, it’s a 6-cell battery instead of 4-cell from eBay .
--- Notice some of the details: Genuine OEM Parts Only, 1 Year Warranty Included.
--- What’s wrong with that: isn’t that what you’ve been asking about: Genuine OEM Parts only is Dell: in addition, a 1 Year Warranty is Included.
--- Another plus is you can scroll down to Verify Compatibility: Confirm this part is compatible with your Dell before you buy.
--- Make sure to determine that the 6-cell battery does match up for your particular XPS 15 (9550)
Maybe you can tell, I prefer to know the original manufacturer’s information for a laptop first and in your case, it’s Dell.
