Low Battery Message on Boot Up
Hello Recently I began receiving a low battery message on boot up of my XPS 600. Yesterday I replaced the battery and am still receiving the message and now the system needs to be reset with almost every boot. I installed the battery as directed in the manual with the positive side towards the little clip although when I removed the battery I could have sworn it was reversed. Is this possible? I tested the battery I removed and it was in fact low and I tested the battery I installed and it was fully charged. Would it do any harm to flip the battery and see what happens? Suggestions?
Thanks

Do not reverse the battery, assuming you've installed it correctly.
You might try wiping it off in case you got some fingerprints on it prevent it from making good electrical contact. Hold it by the edges and be sure it's fully pushed down into the socket when reinstalled.

Well, reversed the battery, negative side towards the clip, and all is well. Took a closer look at the battery I removed and could see little scratches on the negative side caused by the clip. Weird, eh?
