Tried a s***load of known good batteries from maybe a dozen models, and none of them work. Anyone have a working battery for this blasted thing? Its friggin close to flying out the window.

Needs to be shipped to Sweden.

That's a 6-cell 75+ battery, FRU 0A36290, usable only for for E430/E435/E530/E535

^ Yes, that.

One of the batteries i tried was from a E430. Its know good since it operates fine in the E430. In the 530, it discharges fine, but doesnt charge and throws an error message on boot.

Strangely, running the G580 battery from my beater computer, it worked fine until i upgraded the bios. On the newest bios it started throwing the error message on boot.
