YAAAAA!!!!! I kena this before. Exactly HP Gaming laptop. The battery model have to be exact model. Cannot use another model even though the mounting point is same. Confirm OEM battery can use so long model/ part number is same.

I ain't bullshatting. This is what i encountered trying to be smart ass, September last year.

Error after changing to new battery.


Original in machine battery, but 3 cells below already bulging.


OEM replacement that is not correct model.


I managed to get it replaced with the correct model & solved it though. I tried to check using their battery diagnostics software & calibrating. I forgot to take screen shot of this. Some things pass & some things failed. But every time you bot the laptop, you will get that counterfeit battery message.

You can see the built quality of the OEM battery and the original one. (Ignore the models) Ori battery sticker is properly applied flat. The OEM one isn't. The replacement OEM that i got also had badly applied sticker. But it works and the counterfeit message did not appear anymore.
