New battery showing 0%
I have a Lenovo laptop, just put in a new battery snd been charging it for about an hour but still says 0%. If I pull out charger says low battery so I know it "sees" the battery.
Any ideas
TIA Bart

Most new batteries state on instruction it need a massive initial charge doe it state that on instructions?
Hello @bartjunited,

It will give you some information about your battery. The code is a snippet that I have extracted for you from my*** PROJECT: Computer Report - Comprehensive ***
in my signature. You can run it WITH theAC Power
power plugged in, and WITHOUT theAC Power
power plugged in.

I hope this helps.
battery is now charging showing 45%
however when i take the charger out the screen automatically dims a lot as if on low power
its a new build on the laptop and Ive checked the battery settings and its set to balanced
could this just be because its a new battery?

You must charge for 24hours on first charge
As Samuria advised, let it charge for 24 hours then disconnect the charger and see how many hours it works till it reaches 20% then charge it again. This second charge should take no longer than 3 hours.
Thanks
