How to trick PowerManager to thinking my battery's genuine

I love Power Manager, but every time I turn on my computer or plug it in or unplug it, I get a gigantic bubble reminding me that my battery's not a genuine Lenovo product, etc. Is there any way to turn this notification off? Feels like built-in advertising, even though it's an understandable/valid disclaimer.
Second question: it's annoying how every time my battery gets low the battery stretch window opens, even though I have it turned off. Can I stop this?
Thanks!

* Access the Windows Start Menu and go to the Control Panel, from there go to:
* Thinkpad Configuration > Power Manager > Power Scheme
* On the Power Scheme screen click "Options" and then uncheck the box with "Periodically show messages about battery charge capacity"
* Click "Ok" to accept and save the changes and you will no longer receive pop-ups about using a third party notebook battery

Click the Battery tab, and then "Battery Maintenance". The box to uncheck can be found there.
