You may need a ‘Smart’ battery which will interface with the computer’s software. Not all batteries have a ‘Smart’ option. If there is a fuel gauge, then there is a ‘Smart’ battery available. Most newer notebook computer batteries are ‘Smart’ which means that they have internal microprocessors that will allow the battery and the computer to communicate.
