Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery, rated 11.1V and 4700mAh, is available at Mascom International for KSh 6,000 and is in stock today. This is a brand new replacement battery made to fit the Latitude D500 and the laptops that share its battery bay, including the D505, D510, D520, D530 and D600, plus the Inspiron 500m, 510m and 600m. The Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery slides into the same slot as the old pack and locks with the laptop's own latch. Collect it from our shop at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for small offices, schools, cyber cafés and field teams across Kenya that still run older Dell Latitude machines, the Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery solves a common problem. A worn pack holds only a few minutes of charge, so the laptop shuts down the moment KPLC power drops or someone trips over the cable. Many of these machines still handle accounting software, stock records and typing work without trouble. A fresh Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery gives them back the ability to run unplugged, carry on through an outage and save work properly instead of losing an open file.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unmarked batteries with no fit check, Mascom International lets you bring the laptop to the counter so our team can confirm the fit before you pay. You can also send the code printed on your old battery, or the laptop's model sticker, on WhatsApp first. Customers across Nairobi tell us a replacement pack is the cheapest way to keep a working Latitude useful for another stretch of service. Order the Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery in store or by phone, with pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties and a 6-month warranty.
Common Questions About the Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery
How much is the Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery in Kenya?
The Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery costs KSh 6,000 brand new at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. That price covers the battery itself, rated 11.1V and 4700mAh, with a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. No charger comes with it, and fitting is not part of the price, though you are welcome to bring the laptop so we check the fit at the counter. Delivery is pay-on-arrival anywhere in Kenya, so you pay only once the battery reaches you.
Which laptops does the Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery fit?
The Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery fits the Latitude D500, D505, D510, D520, D530 and D600, plus the Inspiron 500m, 510m and 600m. It also matches the Latitude M20 and Precision M20, which share the same battery shape and connector. The surest check is the code on your old battery: common Dell codes for this family include C1295, W1605, 1X793, 3R305 and 312-0068. Send a photo of that label on WhatsApp to +254 708 852 521 and we confirm the match before you order.
How is the Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery different from the Dell Latitude D820 Laptop Battery?
The two batteries do not swap: the Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery fits the D500 and D600 family, while the Dell Latitude D820 Laptop Battery fits the D620, D630, D820 and D830. Their shape, latch position and connector differ. At Mascom International the D500 pack costs KSh 6,000 against KSh 3,200 for the D820 pack, a gap of KSh 2,800. Choose by the laptop you own, not by price. If your laptop's sticker reads D620 or D630, the D820 pack is the right one.
Will the Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery keep my laptop running during KPLC power cuts?
Yes, a charged Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery keeps the laptop running when KPLC power drops, so you can save your work and keep going. How long it lasts depends on screen brightness, Wi-Fi use and the condition of the laptop's other parts. These older Latitudes draw more power than modern laptops, so dim the screen and switch off Wi-Fi when you are not online. For frequent outages in places like Industrial Area or Kisumu, top up the battery whenever mains power returns.
Who should buy the Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery and who should skip it?
Buy the Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery if your D500, D505, D510, D520 or D600 still boots well and only fails when unplugged. Schools, small offices and cyber cafés running these machines for typing and records get the most from it. Skip it if the laptop has a failing hard drive, a cracked hinge or a dead charging port, because a new battery will not fix those faults. If you need a laptop for modern browsing and video calls, a used business laptop is the better spend.
How should I charge the Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery when it is first fitted?
Charge the Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery fully with the laptop connected to its Dell adapter before relying on it unplugged. For the first few cycles, run it down to around a fifth and recharge it fully, so the laptop's battery gauge learns the new pack's real capacity. After that, normal daily use is fine. Avoid running the laptop on a bed or sofa cushion, where heat builds up underneath, because heat shortens the life of any lithium-ion battery.
Will my old Dell adapter charge the Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery?
Your existing working Dell adapter charges the Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery, because the laptop itself controls charging and the pack has no separate charging port. If the laptop warns that the adapter type cannot be determined, or the charge light stays off, the adapter or its cable may be faulty rather than the battery. Mascom International sells laptop adapters separately, and you can bring your adapter along to the Kimathi Street counter so our team checks it with the new battery.
Is the Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery an original Dell battery?
The Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery is a brand new compatible replacement, not an original Dell part. It runs at the same 11.1V as the battery it replaces and slides into the same bay without changes to the laptop. Brand new compatible packs are how many owners in Kenya keep these older Latitudes working. Mascom International backs this one with a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
Technical Specifications
Cell and Capacity
- 11.1V rated voltage — matches the voltage the D500 family expects, so the laptop powers up and charges as normal.
- 4700mAh rated capacity — the amount of charge the pack holds; a higher figure means more time working away from the socket.
- Lithium-ion chemistry — the standard laptop battery type, which holds charge well between uses and has no memory effect from partial charging.
- Brand new cells — no stored charge cycles from a previous owner, so the battery starts its life at full rated capacity.
- Reads on the laptop's battery gauge — Windows shows the charge level and time remaining, so you know when to plug in.
Compatibility and Model Matching
- Fits Latitude D500, D505, D510 and D510m — the core models this battery is named for, all sharing one battery bay.
- Fits Latitude D520, D530, D600 and D600m — later Latitude models that use the same battery shape, latch and connector.
- Fits Inspiron 500m, 510m and 600m, plus Latitude M20 and Precision M20 — consumer and workstation models built on the same bay.
- Matches Dell codes C1295, W1605, 1X793, 3R305, 4P894 and 312-0068 — compare these with the label on your old battery.
- Fit check before you pay — send your model sticker on WhatsApp or bring the laptop to the counter for a quick match.
Build and Safety
- Same outline as the battery it replaces — slides into the bay and sits flush with the underside of the laptop.
- Locks with the laptop's own latch — the pack stays secure inside a bag or on a bumpy matatu ride across town.
- Built-in protection circuit — guards against overcharging, deep discharge and short circuits, the usual causes of battery damage.
- Contacts aligned to Dell's connector — the laptop recognises the pack and charges it the same way it charged the old one.
- Heat awareness — store it out of direct sun and off hot car dashboards, a real risk in Mombasa and other coastal towns.
Charging and Daily Care
- Charged inside the laptop — no separate charger is needed; fit the battery and connect your working Dell adapter.
- Full first charge — take it to 100 percent before the first session away from the socket so the gauge starts accurately.
- Calibration in the first week — run down to about 20 percent and recharge fully a few times so the gauge reads correctly.
- Storage at half charge — if the laptop will sit unused for weeks, keep the battery around half full in a cool room.
- Clean contacts — wipe dust from the battery and bay contacts with a dry cloth, since dust builds up quickly in dry months.
Inclusions
- One Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery — the 11.1V 4700mAh pack only, ready to slide in and latch.
- No charger in the box — laptop adapters are sold separately at Mascom International if yours is worn or missing.
- Fitting labour not included in the price — the pack fits by hand with no tools, and we can check the fit at the counter.
- 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects — claims are handled in person at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery — you pay only when the battery reaches you, wherever you are in Kenya.
Package Contents
The box holds one Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery, the 11.1V 4700mAh pack, and nothing more. No charger comes with it: your laptop's existing Dell adapter charges the battery once it is fitted. If your adapter is worn or missing, Mascom International sells laptop adapters separately at the same counter. Fitting is not included in the price, though the pack slides in and latches without tools. Bring the laptop to Kimathi Street if you would like our team to check the fit with you before you leave.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the Dell Latitude D500 Laptop Battery with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. It applies to faults that appear under normal use, such as a pack that will not hold charge or is not recognised by a compatible laptop. Claims are handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk on Kimathi Street.
