Pretty typical for Dell (or most laptops in general).

Buy a new one from eBay.com or directly from Dell (more expensive but potentially better quality and you have a vendor to argue with if it goes bad quickly).

See if they make a higher capacity one for your machine (if you have a “6 cell”, get a “9 cell” etc). You might need to find that info out from Dell.com’s accessory store, then look up something like 9 cell inspiron 1505 battery etc on eBay.com.

You can also compare mAH ratings. Higher is better, but sometimes the values are inflated over reality.

It will be a bit heavier, but longer run time.
