Dell Latitude 7480 Replacement Battery

Dell Latitude 7480 Battery is a replacement rechargeable battery designed for compatible Dell Latitude 7480 laptops. Dell specifies two battery configurations for the Latitude 7480: a 3-cell 42 Wh battery rated at 11.4 VDC and a 4-cell 60 Wh battery rated at 7.6 VDC, both featuring ExpressCharge support. This replacement is ideal for restoring portable runtime and replacing a worn or degraded original battery.

Description

Restore reliable mobile operation to your compatible Dell Latitude 7480 laptop with a replacement battery designed to provide dependable rechargeable power for everyday business and professional computing.

A replacement battery is an ideal solution when the original battery has significantly reduced runtime, no longer holds a charge, or requires frequent charging. The Dell Latitude 7480 supports different battery configurations, so the exact battery specification should be matched to the battery currently installed in the laptop before ordering.

Key Features

  • Compatible Laptop: Dell Latitude 7480
  • Battery Type: Rechargeable lithium battery
  • Available Configurations: 3-cell 42 Wh or 4-cell 60 Wh
  • ExpressCharge: Supported by the Latitude 7480 battery configurations
  • Designed as a replacement for a depleted or degraded laptop battery

Battery Configurations

Dell’s official Latitude 7480 documentation lists two supported battery configurations:

42 Wh 3-Cell Battery

  • Capacity: 42 Wh
  • Voltage: 11.4 VDC
  • Dimensions: 200.5 × 95.9 × 5.7 mm
  • Weight: Approximately 185 g
  • Battery Type: 3-cell lithium prismatic battery
  • Charging: ExpressCharge supported

60 Wh 4-Cell Battery

  • Capacity: 60 Wh
  • Voltage: 7.6 VDC
  • Dimensions: 238 × 95.9 × 5.7 mm
  • Weight: Approximately 270 g
  • Battery Type: 4-cell lithium prismatic battery
  • Charging: ExpressCharge supported

Designed for Mobile Productivity

A properly functioning battery allows the Latitude 7480 to operate away from an AC outlet, making it suitable for office work, business travel, meetings, remote work, presentations, and other mobile-computing situations.

Replacing a battery that has lost significant capacity can help restore the laptop’s practical unplugged operating time and reduce dependence on the AC adapter.

ExpressCharge Support

The Latitude 7480’s supported battery configurations include ExpressCharge technology, designed to provide faster battery charging under supported conditions. Actual charging performance depends on the system configuration, charger, battery condition, operating environment, and usage.

Replacement and Installation

The Latitude 7480 battery is internally installed. Dell’s service documentation specifies disconnecting the battery cable from the system board and removing the screws securing the battery before lifting it from the computer. The 3-cell and 4-cell configurations use different numbers of retaining screws.

For safe installation, the replacement should be performed by a qualified technician or according to Dell’s official service instructions.

Important Compatibility Notice

Please verify the battery configuration before purchasing.

The Latitude 7480 officially supports both 42 Wh / 11.4 V 3-cell and 60 Wh / 7.6 V 4-cell configurations. These batteries have different physical dimensions and electrical specifications and should not be assumed to be interchangeable simply because they are associated with the same laptop model.

For the most accurate replacement, compare the part number, voltage, capacity, connector, physical dimensions, and cell configuration printed on the existing battery.
