| Apr 16, 2016 at 12:49 | comment | added | Ninjakannon | @InterLinked I didn't know about this, so tried it several times over the last few days. For the original laptop battery, this causes it to start charging again but it seems only temporarily; it's easier to perform the battery trick than the process outlined in my question so this is a small victory. For the new battery I purchased, the battery trick causes Win10 to report that the battery is "plugged in, charging"; however, it does not charge (laptop on or off) and after a while reverts to "not charging" and the AC light begins to flash, laptop on, or simply goes out, laptop off. | |
| Apr 12, 2016 at 1:09 | comment | added | InterLinked | Don't forget the generic battery trick: after removing your battery, hold down the power button for 60 seconds, turn on and shutdown, and replace your battery. This can even fix problems like your laptop screen not working, and as your issue is battery related, this may have something to do with that. I have seen your problem before, and usually it is because the laptop is using more energy than it is getting - if you charge the battery when the laptop is turned off, is at 100% when you turn it back on again? | |

CharlieRB mentioned the internal charging circuit, but I don't know what that is, nor why sometimes the steps you mentioned in your answer, Moab, work temporarily for one battery and not the other. | |

| Feb 4, 2016 at 18:02 | comment | added | CharlieRB | The fact the battery does not charge when the laptop is off, which it should, is an indicator of a problem. This could be due to the, batteries, AC adapter or the internal charging circuit of the laptop (my guess is one of the later two). You may want to run hardware diagnostics on the unit to verify you aren't dealing with something other than a Windows/drivers issue. | |
| Feb 4, 2016 at 17:19 | comment | added | Ninjakannon | @CharlieRB I have nowhere else to test the battery, but given that the batteries did charge when the software issue was fixed temporarily, I assume this is not a hardware fault with the batteries. The batteries do not charge when the laptop is off and connected to AC power. I am running the latest BIOS (I updated it to see whether this would fix the issue to no avail). | |
| Feb 4, 2016 at 16:53 | comment | added | CharlieRB | Does it charge properly if not in Windows, or turned off? Are you running the latest BIOS for your PC? | |
