Hi, I just ordered this item and I have a toshiba A505-S6980 and the battery is non detectable and the one I received doesnt match the one in the pic?

I had the same problem. returned the battery to amazon. in the past I purchased an Anker battery and it worked great, but couldn't find that brand available now.

Mine really match the pic, but it is not robust like the previous -that was not the original- and the charge it is too poor, less than 3 hours. The previous last 4 and even 5 hours.

The picture did not match the one I received either but it snapped right in and has been working great. I need to order another for my husband's laptop.

Mine did not look like the on in the pic either. It did not have that small piece sticking out the left side (in the pic). However, it did fit my computer. It works okay, but only holds a charge for 3-4 hours. The original held a charge for 10+ hours.

I get a message from the battery icon in Windows that says "no battery detected". Is there software that needs to be changed? Follow-up with Windows "help" says to engage the manufacture on this problem.....Battery is not charging and PC doesn't work unless plugged in and when plug is remove, it kills the PC so there is apparently no power from this battery? Note it did work initially with just the battery so it appears that the battery was drained down since and it is not being charged since it is not being "detected"??

I don't know what you mean by non detectable. However I ordered a battery for my Toshiba computer also and the battery that came did not match the picture also. If you got the same one as me the battery that arrived was minus the extension. The extension keeps the laptop from tipping to that corner. Since the battery connections matched and it worked (also I needed a battery bad) I kept it and am still using it. It charges fine. But that was my only gripe, that what the company showed and described was not what you received.

Hi Cyndy, the battery you reference is a replacement generic battery, and its not the Original Toshiba brand - hence the price difference. Both will work for your laptop just fine

You might want to double check that you ordered the right battery (that the model on Amazon mamatches your laptop). Regardless, if it doesn't fit, juat request a refund. The sooner the better.

I have a Toshiba A665-S5170. I think your battery slot is identical to mine, yours being a Satelite model as is mine. The battery should fit. It works great, by the way!

I have a Toshiba A505 laptop with the PA3727U-1BRS battery. I have had the laptop for 2 years 8 months. When new I was getting a full 8 hours from the battery. Now 2 years and 8 months later I am down to 4 hours and a red flashing X over the battery icon telling asking me to consider buying a new battery. I have found them as low as $70.00 and up.

Yes it does fit! ! I bought it in July 2012 for my L755 S5244 and it was the only battery of 3 (2 others were on EBAY- different batt.) that I bought that actually fit and works. The battery life is about double of the original. I have no problems at all, but note the battery is bigger than original toshiba battery and will protude a bit from the laptop.

Too bad you didn't notice sooner, but many new Toshiba laptops come with 'fair' battery health, so you want to get it replaced. I got mine replaced on a different model than yours within days after purchase. The replacement shows "good" health like it should. Unlike other problems, you don't have to send in the laptop. After you get your replacement, you just send back the old one with the label they give you.

My toshiba, not an a665, was not listed on Amazon either but Anker has a comprehensive list. Check Anker's list, or take your toshiba battery and cross reference it to other toshibas at the toshiba site to determine a fit, or call anker.

Seems NOT. Search for your battery (Toshiba Satallite L355-S7915) at AMAZON and find the one that looks like your original. Good luck!

I actually don't know the answer to that question. It was advertised as a Toshiba battery so I assumed it was what it said it was. It fit in the battery slot just fine. Unfortunately, it performed like the battery that needed to be replaced. I wondered if they had sent it out in error. Not sure.

Yes it is. I bought one a couple years ago and it works fine. I have never had a problem with it. I don't know if the original battery in my Toshiba laptop was defective or what, but THIS one actually is holding up much better.

Look at the picture, it has the model number showing. Take that number and either google it or go to Toshiba's website to check for compatibility. You should never take someone else's word for it anyway.

Sorry Ashley I'm not sure. The laptop I have is a A505-S6980. I believe you can call the company/supplier and find out the right batt. to order, they will help you.

Hi Kasie, I myself was unsure exactly which battery would fit my Toshiba Satellite, I actually called Toshiba Tech support and asked them.The issue with mine was that I was unable to find the original battery even on their site. Mine was an 85 W even though the part number was the same. Quickly they gave me the correct battery name and number. I suggest you give them a call before ordering. I am very happy with mine. It is great! Sorry I have not been much help.

The battery in your Toshiba laptop should have a PA####U-#B** model on it. It is easier to find compatible batteries using that model number. If you do not have the original battery then I suggest you call Toshiba to get the original part number to make your searching easier.

I don't know what the "BAS" is. I see what you're talking about. I pulled the battery out of my Toshiba Qosmio and it's the PA3730U-1BRS which is what I ordered. Bringing up my purchasing history it shows a battery with a different part number than the description also. My guess would be they used a generic picture.
