    Problem:
    I have just recently replaced the battery in my Acer Aspire 8930 and I have not been able to get the machine to charge the new battery. The old battery will still charge, which makes me wonder if the old battery has internal components that the machine is checking with before it charges. Initially, the new battery read 3% and charging, but now it only reads 1% and charging and will not keep the laptop powered if the power supply is removed. Any assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    Attempted Solutions:
    Updated BIOS to version 1.20
    Checked power supply
    Checked the charging plug/pin
    Updated all battery-related drivers

    Download this program it will show you the wear level of your battery, it may well be
    you have a faulty battery. This will show you.


    Batteries do have a small circuit to monitor themselves by. It could be a trial and error
    process like fully discharging and trying to charge it. From what you are saying it's seems
    you have a faulty replacement.
