Don't be duped! It's a discontinued item w/ no support

I had this for 9 months and then the battery died. I tried to find a replacement battery on Dell. Dell told me (and it's on their website) this model has been discontinued. There are no replacement batteries for it. I tried aftermarket sites. No success. So my very expensive XPS 15 laptop that I bought from Microsoft is nothing more than a good looking paperweight because it won't charge anymore. I'm saddened to see that Microsoft is still selling this discontinued item at top dollar. It feels like a ripoff. Don't be duped! What else isn't Microsoft telling us?
