Now your laptop will detect the battery and start charging it. > Now here's the tricky part - Insert the battery 'after' you've powered on the laptop. > With the battery still removed, plug in the adapter and turn on the power. > Remove the battery and kill the static energy in your laptop by holding down the power button for 20 seconds. This is the 3rd time I'm writing this instruction today: It was the first time I'd used it without the power plug.

I unplugged it a couple days ago and used it with no issue. The battery is fully charged and there appears to be no problem there. I've made no changes and done nothing to the computer except give it light duty use. What's happening now is, the battery is not getting charged (actually, it's not getting detected) and your laptop thinks there's no battery and is simply running on power.Ī new battery will of course have some charge and your laptop will be very happy with it and keeping charging it. A pure sine wave inverter works just fine with laptops, but even so, inverters arent very efficient for charging laptops. I bought my HP Notebook about a month ago. Your laptop generally tries to charge the battery + run on power when it's connected to a power adapter. Before you decide to give up on your battery and get a new one, there might be a chance that you finished using up every last ounce of energy in your battery and it didn't get time to charge again :)
