I don't know that particular laptop model, but with many Dell laptops you can remove the Optical drive from it's bay, and instead use a 2nd battery there.

The Dell 7440 only has one battery installed and it does not have an optical drive.<br />
<br />
If you turn over the notebook (closed), the battery is placed at the front of the device.<br />

Do you have any other devices installed/attached?

@Michael, the first link is an external battery but not one that the OS would see as an internal battery, it's more like at powerbank. Thats why I've asked if there are any other devices installed/attached :)

Dell Latitude E7440 Battery

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Laptops Notebooks

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.
