A few weeks ago I think my laptop battery died. It started powering off when not connected to AC adapter and says battery not detected on the windows battery icon.

I have been able to still use the laptop if plugged into the AC adapter but as soon as I disconnect it shuts off.

bought a new battery, installed it today. It still says battery not detected, however now if I take out the AC power cord, the laptop stays on. So I know the new battery is actually working.

How do I get Windows 10 to recognize the battery? I cant tell how much charge the battery has because it says not detected

Do batteries have to be configured in safe mode or something?
Might be an issue with the serial?

Is the laptop getting older or have you dropped it?
Haven't really dropped it. Water got spilled several months back and I had to install a new power button before it would work again. But the battery worked fine after that for weeks to months. The laptop overall is from 2016ish so I was not surprised if the battery just died.

What is puzzling to me is how it still says battery not detected after the new battery is in, even though the battery is clearly working and running the laptop

Sounds like something else shorted in there. If the battery is working and charging but something is not detecting it properly, you should be fine right?

if something shorted it would have shorted well after the initial water spill since it was working and the battery was detected for so long afterward. So kinda weird if thats the case.

so yeah the battery is working which is good, but I have no way of knowing how much of a charge I have left, or when my laptop is fully charged to pull the ac adapter out
