3578 - 3rd party battery not charging

Hi,

I address my issue mainly to the Dell Team. (Pity that I could not find a direct email address to tech. support)

I have a Vostro 3578 laptop and i bought a non-dell battery to replace the original one.

During bot - to my surprise - I got a warning message which declares, that this battery is non a Dell one and will refuse to charge it. Continue and OP system starts, battery works, but really not charging...

Googling for solution, I did not find any. Instead found some articles says this is your business politics to lock out 3rd party batteries (maybe other components too). 

Which would be very-very customer unfriendly, as:

- this "feature" was not advertised when the machine was sold

- price of Dell battery is ~ 3x higher than the non-Dell (and i have concerns about it would last 3x longer - nevertheless seems I won't have a chance to try)

- user got no more warranty for a genuine battery

If that is NOT true, then please help solve my issue.

If true, then this laptop was my last Dell product I bought. I would feel it really disgusting that I would have to buy a Dell component, just because it is Dell, while gives no any other benefit for triple price. Should find a different way to increase income...

Thank you in advance,
