X240 Clean install, what software/drivers do I need and battery isn't being reported

Hi I've just bought a refurbished X240 which has has been wiped with no recovery partition, so I've installed windows 8.1 from a bootable usb that I made which has installed ok etc.

I then downloaded the SCCM pack and went through device manager to update what I could and everything seems to be working as it should except only the internal battery seems to be reported by windows, whether the external battery is plugged in or not the battery percentage and time left etc stays the same.

So I wasn't sure if some of the Lenovo software I've seen on the downloads page would solve it but I'm not sure.

Also I'm not sure what software/utilities I need or are worth downloading like the lenovo solution center etc as there are so many downloads in the X240 section.


Any advice is appreciated thanks!

 

I've never used SCCM before, but have you checked whether it has installed the correct version of the Power Manager driver? (Version 1.67.09.03)

 

I've got both batteries appearing now There is still alot of software available to download so I need to work out what's necessary/worth downloading and what isn't, trial and error maybe!
