i have recently purchased a new battery for my laptop after my last one died. i have also purchased a new charger as the ac adaptor snapped off the old one. now my problem is that my battery takes 24 - 36 hours to fully charge. whan it does it lasts for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours so it does hold its charge. i have tested the battery with hp battery check and all seems ok. i had previously used the laptop on ac power only for about a year before buying a replacement battery. is this a fault with the battery or the charger or the power on the laptop? thanks
