Laptop Battery

[Maydup]

I have used my laptop for hours on end with it plugged in to the mains, thinking this is the best solution to maintaining power and not having to rely on the battery charge.

Now the laptop is tending to get hot quickly and the battery life is short.

Have I likely ruined the battery by using the laptop with it plugged into the mains?

I might be safest sticking with the Amazon one as I feel sure its the right one and is a Dell.

Have you looked at Dell direct?

I tried the Dell site but couldn't find mine.......

I think its this one but cant be sure, plus its £100.
