So it turns out it was a really common battery, they just don't list my model number as its not a popular model lol! £30 delivered for a genuine one, looks genuine as well, it's a damn good copy if not!
However..., still the same issue.
I've tried the recommended 'battery calibration' (full drain, then charge and leave plugged in for 2.5 hours) but it doesn't seem to have helped.
The battery meter seems to have 'broken', shows like 50% and 2hrs left then suddenly drops to critical power and dies within minutes unless I can get it plugged in. Also claims to be fully charged within an hour which can't be enough, pretty sure it used to take closer to 2? Same with both batteries so must be something in the laptop software? It only lasts around an hour and a half doing 'light' work (facebook, forums, ebay, etc) which isn't really good enough. Any ideas?
