Then I would remove the notebook from AC Power. Make sure
the battery icon now appears in the System Tray (by Time display)
and that the AC plug icon is gone. Don't let the notebook go to a
low-power state, but drain the battery completely. You may have
to temporarily change the batter power savings mode. Once the
battery is completed discharged, put it back on AC power and
watch the charging meter and make sure it goes to 100%. If not
then the replacement battery may not be correct or you could have
a defective one (Yes, batteries can be defective). You can speed
up the discharge by perhaps watching a DVD movie or some other
peripheral use that will increase the power loading.
