It won't power up the laptop, when the charger is plugged in it says it has 88% charge but the charger doesn't get warm and never changes from 88%. If they've followed the same colour code on their battery as Lenovo then they have the wires crossed. I'd need to cut the wires and cross connect them to fix it since the pins aren't removable from the mini plug and since I don't know what the pin out is anyway, it would be a gamble so I'm a bit stuck.
I'm sure this is why China's GDP is so high - you have to order two to get one that works.
I got a battery on ebay for my laptop but it hasn't lasted that long, I have to plug in to mains to use laptop for more than a few minutes.
