I ordered a battery from amacomputerstore.com and it's completely fried. I got it exactly 14 days ago. I sent them an e-mail and I'm hoping they'll replace it, in the mean time I'm using my old stinky battery. I don't have a lot of faith in this store. They were cheap, but they don't state any sort of return policy.
Honestly, the battery itself is faulty, and it looks like the standard HP battery for all computers of this type (Compaq Presario V6205NR Notebook). It even has the "Replace with HP Spare" sticker on it, the same as the original battery.
The battery is supposedly not old. It thinks it is fully charged but it won't turn on my computer. I know it's the battery and not the adapter giving problems because the old battery WILL charge properly and I'm typing this on the computer in question right now.
I'm having trouble figuring out what to do next. I want this battery replaced, and I need a new one by the end of the month (I'm leaving the country for May), so I need to move AFAP. Does anyone know how to contact the manufacturer, and at this point would it be more cost effective to just buy a new battery from someone else? I could use the advice.
