[SOLVED]820-3330-B Not charging battery

[dukefawks]

Battery from 13" MacBook pro are compatible. Try known good battery first. Also check if battery is fully recognized in OSX with charge cycles and battery status: normal.

Wrong/dead battery will cause system lag. Don't buy copy batteries, spend some more and get an original one.

Any suggestions as to a good source for original batteries? Will the system still lag without a battery in the system?
My seller for my stocked batteries has done well for me so far, the 2 air batteries I used and only unibody one have been top tier from what I can tell. Just this Amazon one has been crap.

It's all a gamble, buy local so you can send it back if it is fucked. Yes system will lag without working battery.

Alright, replacement battery on the way. BTW, do all systems lag without a battery? If not which ones do? Thanks!

All will be slow without battery. CPU is clocked to lowest speed if no battery or totally empty is installed.

Wonderful! Thanks for the heads up. Feel free to mark this one as solved. If I still run into problems I can reference this post as well.
