Dell Alienware 13: Battery not detected after replacement

Mon, 15 Jan 2018 19:38:21 -0700

My alienware 13r2 battery died, so I replaced it with one from BattPit (you can find them on amazaon). Now when I turn on my laptop there's an error message: the battery cannot be identified ... etc... wont charge.

My question is: does my laptop need a genuine Dell battery? Or can I somehow get this one from BattPit to work?

Recently my laptop made a grinding sound. After the grinding sound stopped my laptop started to get really hot and doesn’t work at the normal speed. After about a week the symptoms have gotten worse and my laptop now randomly shuts off while in use.
