To be short in an explanation, you need a new proper battery for your
computer. You cannot mix the battery types with the wrong charger unit. You
can not mix old battery cells with new ones.

The circuit boards have circuits in them for sensing the voltages, and
charge rates. If not working properly, the battery will not function with
the charger and computer.

You NEED a new original battery, if you want things to work right.

"Original" is not always "new". You may buy a "new" original battery
but it came with the same ship the laptop came with. It was just
sitting on the shelf until you bought it. Your best bet would be to
send the battery pack to one of those companies who professionally
rebuild Li-Ion packs with fresh Li-Ion cells. I know there are several
in Europe just don't have the name ready. Maybe they still accept
your now mutilated battery pack or they offer you a rebuilt one.

Li-Ion battery packs are very dangerous when not charged correctly.
They may set your house on fire or disfigure your face permanently.
NiMH cells are not *that* dangerous but may explode as well^Wbadly.
Don't try to be cheap when your health is at risk -
go to a professional!

Kind regards, Eike
