Laptop Battery

[DavidofMersea]

The Battery in my laptop is not accepting a charge, and presumably has died.

Where is the best place to get a new battery? e.bay has some cheap batteries, but are they any good?

I had the same problem recently. Googled for options and went with Duracell, about £35, perfect replacement and very fast delivery.

The difficulty is identifying whether they are "genuine" rather than counterfeit... If it concerns you, go direct to the manufacturer of your laptop.

By the way if your battery has died, it generally indicates that your laptop may be getting to an age where replacement would be appropriate...

I bought a Duracell battery for my 2010 Samsung a couple of years ago... still going strong.

Two points,
1) it may not be the battery, but the charger or the connection...
2) it’s worthwhile putting the battery in your freezer overnight... then thawing it out the next day and see if it now works.

For some reason this “resets” older laptop batteries... I’ve done this a couple of times and gotten more use out of a laptop battery.

So I bought a new battery, and now I get "72% available (Plugged in)". and it is not charging. Has anybody got any ideas what is wrong?

The battery is not properly clicked in place.

More likely the Power Supply was the original failure... Most new batteries ship at about 75%

I see you have sorted the problem. Where did you buy your battery from? I need one for a Samsung NP-NC10 and Duracell dont seem to do one.

Following my recent experience with a Dell laptop whose battery was not accepting charge, I wouldn't necessarily write it off, yet.

If the battery has failed due to too many charge/discharge cycles, then yes, throw it away. But if it was a good battery that just got left uncharged for too long, then give it more time on charge..

A laptop given to me several months ago, wasn't accepting charge, but last week it suddenly sprang back to life. It's now performing very well, accepting sufficient charge for several hours use.

Everything seemed to be working OK again, and I went abroad, and it then stopped working again. As many here have suggested, it maybe the charger. I have a spare charger at home in the UK, so I will try that when I get back to the UK in the Spring
