HI I have an Acer ASpire One 725.

It's running Windows 8.1.

The battery will not charge and this is due to the Bios being an older version that needs updating.

The Battery has NO charge.

When you run the Bios update Utility it refuses to run the bios update as the Battery is Dead.

I purchased a second battery so am 100% sure that the issue to fix it is the Bios update from what I have read on Message Boards.

Catch 22, can anyone help. Is there a way to bypass the refusal of the update program to update with a flat battery?

    And now the new battery is also dead? If yes and with the new battery installed, I suggest that you first try to cold boot then immediately tap F2 to access the existing BIOS version menu. Then set BIOS defaults. Then save and exit. Does the new battery now charge? Jack E/NJ
