Comment on Owners of laptops with very cheap aftermarket batteries, is it worth the discount?

What sort of batteries does it use? If it’s just Li-Ion cells like 18650s, it should be fairly easy to DIY. If it’s a proprietary Li-Poly, probably going to be more problematic.

18650s, but the laptops refuse to charge the batteries, so the BMS might be toast already.

Ah! That’s unfortunate. If adventurous, maybe hunt down a used battery that partially charges and swap sells?
