Serial number on mine is:

KR-8Y635G-73292-89S-E3AP-A00

Battery Cell made in Korea
Assembled in China

BatteryBar is saying the capacity of mine is 24420 mw fully charged.

Dang this sucks. Someone figure out the fix so we can get this corrected now. The KR battery people lose 25% of their battery power from the start.

Rats, mine is a dud "KR" battery, too. I wasn't really unsatisfied with its performance but now this will bug me knowing there's a better one out there. Thanks guys.

ok people, but don't forget to check the part number for your batteries. is a 5 digit code, you can find it on the white paper attached outside the package in wich the minis came, it has the list of all parts for the mini system. is important to check this to identify wich part numbers leads to a defective batteries and let us made a better request in the technical support chat.

people with good batteries must check that too, like i did, and post they're part number. anyway, the technical support gays tend to not try to fool you around (too much :lol: ) if they notice that you know what you're talking about. tell them about the defective serials, the full power charges, that you know about other people with the same issue, remember that the batteries cost 130$ so they will try to trick you :mrgreen: , and they're really corious, ask you about how did you notice, wich software do you use to know about, tell them about the pictures, they like this stuff :lol: i made it in just one chat session, but took me almost 2 hours, so be respectful but go to the point. and practice your favorite mantra, that will help a lot too :twisted:

Just got my mini yesterday. My battery read the following.

Designed Capacity: 24420mWh
Full charged capacity: 24420mWh

Do I have a bad one as well?

Order Form has:
Item Number: 312-0775
Part Number: C050H

White sticker on battery says: KR

It appears I have a KR battery even though the Item number on the packing slip says C050H.

I just checked my receipt and it says:

358-10005 Battery : 4-cell 2200AHr Battery

That must mean that mine is the 24Wh one as ordered (not knowingly I have to add)?

i just came to my house and checked my KR battery part number, and is the same as my CN battery and yours, so unfortunelly , there's no connection afterall between part numbers and bad or good batterys, just luck

at least we now for sure that KR are 24420mWh bad batteries right? so lets keep with that in mind when you are talking to the technical support guys.

another thing, the representative told me that if the replacement battery is a bad one, we can change it again, and again, till we have the good ones. make sure that the guy wich you talk says the same thing before accepting the shipment :twisted:

SO EVERYONE GO TO THE CHAT! =======> http://support.dell.com/support/topics/ ... l=en&s=gen

people with bad batteries has the right for a free replacement :ugeek:
