Ask either Dell or Currys.

Dell warranties their batteries for one year (regardless of if the rest of the system has a longer warranty)

But batteries are considered a consumable item and a reduction in capacity over time is to be expected and would be classed as fair ware and tear, so unless there is a obvious manufacturing fault or the capacity has reduced to such a level it would be considered unreasonable for the age they will not replace it under warranty.

Check Ebay for replacements as they are not much.
