Hi @kpj4890
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.
The warning you're encountering is likely an alert from your HP laptop indicating that the battery installed might not be an official HP product.
This can happen if the battery is replaced with a non-HP one or if there's an issue with the battery's firmware compatibility.
Please try the below suggestions:
Run HP Hardware Diagnostics:
Restart your laptop and press Esc repeatedly to open the Startup Menu.
Choose System Diagnostics > Battery Test to check the battery’s health and compatibility.
Check for BIOS Updates:
An outdated BIOS might cause compatibility problems with hardware:
Visit HP’s support site, search for your model, and check for a BIOS update.
Carefully follow the instructions to install the latest version.
