Hi, this is my first post here!
I have a laptop (Toshiba Satellite C50Dt), battery stopped working and would only work if power charger was plugged in.
I bought a new battery for my laptop off eBay, connected it and my laptop successfully turned on whilst the charger plugged in, battery was charging fine. The battery then showed 100% charge after being on charge for a while. I took the charger out and the laptop turns off like there is no battery (the battery was recognised when I had it booted the first time)
I took the battery off and plugged in the charger and it will boot. I then put the battery back on with the charger and it will be boot but will only stay on for several minutes.
I removed the battery, and just had the power lead plugged in and it stayed on for over 12 hours absolutely fine.
Is this a faulty battery? How can I check this?
