Then putting new batteries in the computer won't do any good, will it?
If it's the charger, it built into the computer, not the battery.


Most laptop batteries contain the charging circuitry. This is essential since it
needs to monitor the battery temperature and *terrminal* voltage precisely in
order to charge it quickly and safely.

The ac power unit is just that, not a 'charger' at all.

So, replacing the 'battery' does indeed fix the problem.
