I have an Acer Aspire 5552on which the battery is failing. I have bought a new battery, but the laptop will not recognise the new battery. The supplier says my bios needs updating. My bios is acer v2.05 17/11/2010. The bios downloads on the website don't include v2.05. where can I find this bios upgrade?

I would doubt the sellers claim. Some cheap batteries can be not recognized by the laptop.I have had good luck with AGPtek , PWR+ and Anker.
If you want to upgrade the Bios, I would go to the newest.Make sure your battery is full, keep the power plugged in, read everything carefully as you go.

If your current Bios is v2.05 and you want to upgrade the Bios, you would use a newer Bios, not the same one you have.

Hi Philetus, thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm still not sure what bios update I should choose from the Acer site. Do I pick the latest? Is the suppliers claim that the fault is with the bios and not the battery credible? Sorry but I'm still confused. Surely I can't choose any higher numbered bios?
