    I'd got the Sony Vaio replacement battery (Third party). when I installed the battery (VGP-BPS13/S), the laptop doesn't recognized (it say: no battery detected). I updated the Bios from sony website but doesn't work. I disable the ISP utility in the start up but doesn't work either.
    Is there any possibility that the third party battery will work on my laptop?

    Never buy or trust third-party batteries.

    Sony do their best to ensure third party batteries don't work so you have to buy the official ones, which isn't a bad thing.
