Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery sells at Mascom International for KSh 2,800, a brand new 11.1V replacement pack for Dell's older Latitude E5500, E5400, E5510 and E5410 notebooks. These 14-inch and 15-inch business laptops share one battery design, which Dell labelled with codes such as KM742, KM668, RM668, PW640 and WU841. The Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery is a compatible replacement, not a Dell original, and it runs on lithium-ion cells. It locks into the existing battery bay and charges from the laptop's usual adapter. Find it at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for accountants, estate agents, logistics coordinators and cyber café owners who still run a Latitude E5500 or E5400, the Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery answers a familiar problem. These older laptops keep going for years, yet the battery wears out long before the rest of the machine. A spent pack leaves you scrambling each time power flickers in Industrial Area or the cable gets tugged loose. A new Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery turns the machine back into a laptop you can carry to a client in Upper Hill or a lecture at Moi University.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops guess at compatibility, Mascom International matches the code. Photograph the label on your old pack, or the model sticker under the laptop, and send it on WhatsApp, or bring the laptop to our counter for a fit check. Buyers throughout Kenya report that these E-series Latitudes still handle office work, accounting software and browsing well once the battery is replaced. At KSh 2,800, the Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery is a low-cost way to extend a working laptop's life, with pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery
How much does the Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery cost in Kenya?
The Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery costs KSh 2,800 brand new at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. That buys one 11.1V lithium-ion replacement pack plus a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. A charger is not included, and the price excludes fitting labour, although our team will check the fit if you bring your laptop. You pay on arrival when ordering for delivery. The Dell Latitude 3340 Laptop Battery for the newer 13-inch Latitudes costs KSh 3,300, which is KSh 500 more.
Which laptops does the Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery fit?
The Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery fits the Latitude E5500, E5400, E5510 and E5410. Dell built these four models around one battery, so the same pack serves all of them. Common codes on the original battery include KM742, KM668, RM668, PW640, WU841, KM752, KM760, KM970, MT186, 312-0762 and 312-0769. Match any one of those and you have the right pack. If the label has faded, send the laptop's model sticker to Mascom International on WhatsApp and we will check it for you.
Is the Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery an original Dell part?
No, the Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery is a brand new compatible replacement, not a battery made by Dell. It follows the factory pack's shape, connector and 11.1V voltage, so it fits the bay and charges through the laptop's usual Dell adapter. For laptops of this age, sealed original batteries are scarce in Kenya, and compatible packs are what most owners buy. Mascom International lists it truthfully as a replacement part, covered by a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
How long does the Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery run between charges?
Unplugged time on the Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery depends on how hard the laptop works, how bright the screen is and how healthy the rest of the machine is. We do not promise a set number of hours. These older Intel processors draw more power than recent laptop chips, so sessions are shorter than on a new machine. Still, a fresh pack is a clear step up from a worn original that lasts minutes. Swapping a spinning hard drive for an SSD and dimming the display both stretch each charge.
Is the Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery suitable for hot and dusty Kenyan conditions?
Yes, the Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery works well in Kenyan conditions as long as heat and dust stay in check. Lithium-ion cells lose capacity faster when hot, so keep the laptop out of direct sun at a site office in Athi River or a market stall in Gikomba. Blow dust out of the vents every few months so the fan keeps the battery bay cool. During KPLC outages, the pack keeps the laptop running so you can save files and shut down properly.
How does the Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery compare with the Dell Latitude E6400 Laptop Battery?
The Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery costs KSh 2,800 at Mascom International, and the Dell Latitude E6400 Laptop Battery costs KSh 3,000, only KSh 200 more. They serve different laptop families. This pack fits the E5400, E5410, E5500 and E5510 in Dell's E5 line. The E6400 battery fits Dell's E6 line, which uses its own battery shape and codes. The two look alike but will not swap. Pick by your laptop's model number: an E5-series owner buys this one, while an E6400 owner buys the other.
Who should buy the Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery, and who should skip it?
Buy the Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery if your E5500, E5400, E5510 or E5410 runs your daily software well but collapses the moment you unplug it. It suits bookkeepers, schools, small shops keeping Pochi la Biashara records, and anyone keeping a paid-off laptop in service. Skip it if you need modern speed for video editing or heavy multitasking, because a battery will not make an older processor faster. In that case, a used newer business laptop is the better fit for your money.
How do I fit the Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery myself?
Fitting the Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery is a quick job that needs no tools on these models. Shut the laptop down, unplug the adapter and turn it over. Slide the battery release latch and lift out the old pack. Line the new battery up with the bay, press it in until the latch clicks, then connect the adapter and charge it fully before first unplugged use. If you prefer help, bring the laptop to Mascom International and our team will check the fit at the counter.
Technical Specifications
Cell and Capacity
- 11.1V output, matching the voltage of the Dell factory pack, so the laptop's charging system accepts it normally.
- Lithium-ion chemistry stores plenty of energy for its weight and allows partial top-ups without harming the cells.
- Brand new cells straight from packing, so you start at full rated capacity instead of inheriting someone else's wear.
- Capacity is printed on the pack label in mAh and Wh, both measures of how much energy it holds per charge.
- Voltage, written V, must match the laptop, while capacity can differ between packs without affecting fit.
Compatibility and Model Matching
- Fits the Dell Latitude E5500 and E5400, plus the closely related Latitude E5510 and E5410.
- Replaces original packs coded KM742, KM668, RM668, PW640 and WU841, the codes most buyers find on the label.
- Also matches KM752, KM760, KM970, MT186, 312-0762 and 312-0769, further codes Dell used for this design.
- Charges through the laptop's existing Dell adapter, so a working charger needs no replacement at all.
- Not for the Latitude E6400 or E4300, which belong to other families with their own battery shapes and codes.
Build and Safety
- Internal protection board stops charging when full and cuts output on a short, guarding both cells and laptop.
- Rigid casing follows the factory outline, so the pack locks in snugly and stays put when the laptop moves.
- Connector contacts align with the laptop's battery port for a steady link during charging and unplugged use.
- Communicates charge level to the laptop, so Windows shows the remaining percentage and an estimated time left.
- A counter test on request lets you see the pack charge and run your Latitude before you head home.
Charging and Care
- Give it a full first charge, then two or three complete cycles so the charge meter reads it accurately.
- Unplug now and then instead of running on mains all day at full charge, which slowly ages any lithium pack.
- If the laptop will be stored for weeks, leave the pack near half charge somewhere cool and dry.
- Clean dust from the fan vents regularly, because a cooler laptop also means a cooler, longer-lasting battery.
- Put a surge protector between the socket and the adapter to protect both from spikes when power returns.
Inclusions
- One Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery, brand new and ready for an E5500, E5400, E5510 or E5410.
- Charger not included; compatible Dell laptop adapters are available separately at Mascom International.
- Battery only, with no fitting labour in the price, though our team will check the fit at the counter.
- 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, with claims taken in person at our service desk.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery, so you can look the pack over properly before you pay for it.

You receive one Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery, brand new and rated 11.1V, ready for the E5500, E5400, E5510 or E5410. The box carries no charger or cable, because the battery draws power from the Dell adapter your laptop already uses. If that adapter has worn out, Mascom International stocks compatible Dell laptop chargers sold separately. Fitting is not included in the price, but our counter team will happily check that the pack seats and charges.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the Dell Latitude E5500 Laptop Battery with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects, such as a pack that stops charging or holding power under normal use.
