The vendor told me to downgrade to an older BIOS version which I can't get my hands on though so I am stuck.
Is there a BIOS/procedure available to make my knockoff battery packs work in the machine?
the control of the battery is carried out by the EU
if you have previous versions of bios, you can experiment...but I doubt that this will help you
P.S. In my opinion, the right choice is to turn the battery back to the seller
