The new battery replacement does not come with a cable to attach to the motherboard. How can I use the cable from the old battery?
I have this same question^. Can I reuse the cable from the old battery?
Note that Dell Inspiron 13s have had a rash of bad batteries that swell as they age, causing them to press hard against the trackpad. This can cause it to track poorly or make it difficult or impossible to left or right click the pad. Replacing the bad battery often fixes these kind of trackpad issues on these models where the battery is directly under the trackpad.
