Hey /g/,

There's this thing I cant get over for a few years now and I just can't let it go... Maybe a few of you can relate or even help:

I own a Lenovo Laptop (B580 Series) that I am completely happy with... BUT of course the battery is getting lame after over 4 years of use. So what do I do - I buy a generic no-name battery made to fit this Laptop for only about 30$.
The thing arives, i stick it in and boot the laptop.
But right away the laptop somehow recognizes that its a fake battery and doesn't let me charge it because it's "concerned about my safety". It tells me to buy an original one.

SHIT!

So, after thinking about what I can do, clever me buys an original Lenovo External-Charger. (Hard to get where I live and not too cheap either, but by now I'm doing this also partially with an idealistic motivation because, you know, I can't let Lenovo win and let them tell me what to do...!)

BUT EVEN THAT Thing doesn't charge the battery!

What the heck can I do?!?!
