Acer battery issues

Hi,

Hopefully, someone will have the answer for this.

The battery on my Acer Aspire 5610Z laptop no longer holds the charge so I bought a new battery. When I connect the new battery and try to charge it, the battery light on the laptop keeps flashing.

When trying to boot up the laptop with the new battery (plugged into charger as will not charge) I keep getting an error message " not Acer battery - please check battery" The laptop will not then boot up.

Does anyone know how to get a non Acer battery running successfully please?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

 

Return it? That is why you only buy batteries from the original maker of your notebook, most third party batteries fail.

 

i have tried three non-acer batteries and non have worked correctly.
one would only charge to 50% then would only work for 30mins.
the other two where as you state useless.

 

Ok, thanks for the info. That will teach me for trying to save a few pounds

 

I just picked up my second non-Acer battery today and am having the same problem. The first one lasted for two days then just died. It took weeks to get another one on warranty from China, just picked it up today, charged it and the Battery light is flashing. NHC says 100%, unplug AC, machine hibernates.

Funny thing is that i came to this forum to do a search for this problem and found this thread right at the top.

I'm willing to try one more battery after that, 3 strikes them spend more an an actual Acer battery. Those have a higher capacity too.

 

You can try getting one from Hong Kong. For the most part, they do have some quality generic laptop batteries around.

 

im now thinking after many hours of looking in to the way acer works, with the many changes to the internals of there laptops with the same model numbers(mother boards mostly). that there may be away around this problem. will take some time to research it for us

 

Hoggie... crack this battery thing and you are a champ....

Those "aftermarket non acer batteries" are highly not recommended and could be dangerous. For all you know you could end up with one of those cheap lithium ion batteries that may or may not explode. That is a serious issue IMO; when my current 8 cell battery dies I will contact acer directly and get a new one and I suggest you do the same.

Also hoggie is onto something... some acer laptop internals, especially the models that have acer's quick charge technology require batteries that can handle the rate of charging and if you have one of those aftermarket batteries who knows what that will do to them.

 

Well.. About a week into my third aftermarket battery and so far so good.

The second one this place obtained for me came from the same manufacturerer as the OEM Acer bateries. I was told that when they analysed both of the batteries that they had provided before, the problems were with the controller boards inside the battery and not with the cells.

I hop this one keeps working. The next one will come from Acer.

 

Nope. This one lasted about two weeks. I give up. The next one comes from Acer. I suppose I'll have to eat the $165 i spent on this one that was replaced 3 times. Lesson learned.

 

i'd still send it back again.... maybe the seller will get tired of the hastle and send you a good battery... it may be worth a try,,, who knows you may get a good battery if you keep hastling the seller.
