Is the battery a HP original and did you charge it completely before use. ?
Also what OS are you running..

no it is a replacement running win 7 pro and i dont know if it was fully charged before use but I am assuming it was...as they just recently tried to run it with just battery...it is a laptop I upgraded for someone...I did go ahead and order a oem charger...

As it's a non-brand and new it may well need a few charge/discharge cycles before the OS registers it correctly..

Are you the one that installed the battery ? Did you check the ah rating on them to make sure it was close ?
