My old laptop battery was completely dead and could not be recharged. I finally decided to buy a replacement since I needed the laptop for school work and I found one on Amazon that had pretty much the same specs. Got it delivered and when I put the battery in test and make sure it's a working battery (didn't charge it yet) the laptop turned on and all was fine. The recommended "New Battery Break-in Process" came with it and I followed as such, but each time when I turned it on, the battery only lasted about 10 minutes and the pc said low battery. Last night I let it charge and today I unplugged and turned it on and the battery only lasted 20 seconds before the PC turned off and wouldn't turn back on. Let it charge for an hour and now the battery won't even turn the PC on at all!
I have to use it plugged in again. The battery registers with the laptop and it says 100% Charged but as soon as I unplug the laptop it shuts off.

Is my battery a defect or just a cheap Chinese rip off or what?

TIA

I can't get to it right now. I can't remember if the seller/brand was Masione or Battpit though.
