Yes….without battery it still works fine.

I checked the voltage on my old battery and the new one!

old = 11.8 volts

new = 16.2 volts

now that I have up graded the BIOS do you think I could charge old battery and maybe work? Would it hurt to try?

You have bought the wrong battery! It has more cells and way too much volts! STOP!
