Well, I got an email from that website about their Dell DJ battery and the one they sell is definitely for Gen 1 DJ's and that will not work on a Gen 2 DJ. They said that people have bought it in the past and found it did not work and had to return it and pay a restocking fee. This sucks.
They told me to go to 2 websites pdaparts.com or pdasmart.com. The first website didn't have anything for Dell. They had lots of batteries that looked like mine but they were specifically for iPods. The 2nd website has a battery but it doesn't specific generations. It just says "DELL Digital Jukebox, DELL Digital Jukebox DJ, DELL Digital Jukebox Series". I emailed them asking if it will work on a 2nd Gen so I have to wait for their email.
The thing that really bites here is that the battery from this other site batteryship.com is that they were only charging $25 for a battery plus shipping which was like $7.50 or something and it would've been more economical to buy 2 because they offer a 10% discount for the purchase of 2 or more. So because their battery won't work for me I have to go to pdasmart.com and that battery is a whopping $48.
It just occured to me to check via part number and came up with 1 thing on ebay. Someone is selling the exact battery I need and the starting bid is .99 cents and there are no bids. I'm tempted to bid $30. The auction ends the day before I get my check. The only thing is if I buy it on ebay I have no warranty and no guarantee that it will actually work and not die within a couple of months.
