I have a Toshiba laptop model S70-BBT2N23 which I purchased last April. The 
laptop works fine with no problems.

I decided to buy an extra battery to use as a backup. When I installed the 
battery, the computer would not boot up, even with the AC plugged in. If I 
remove the battery or put the original battery back in, all works fine. I 
initially thought this was a battery problem, so I exchanged the battery for 
a replacement and got the same result. These were aftermarket batteries, so 
I then bought a Toshiba branded battery which appeared to be exactly the 
same as the original battery - and I again got the same result. In every 
case, the laptop will not boot up with the replacement battery and just 
flashes the power light, even with the AC plugged in. Put the original 
battery in (with or without AC) or just run on AC and all works fine.

Any ideas?
