I’m adding this comment as an owner of a Toshiba Satellite L505 laptop and issues with the battery.
After initial 12-cell OEM battery went through a decent lifespan, I tried a 9-cell third-party battery. After not very long, the Toshiba monitoring app alerted that the battery was nearing the end of its rechargeable life! So an acquaintance mentioned similar problems with his kids’ laptops after buying 3rd-party batteries, and suggested to buy an OEM (manufacturer battery). So I went to a Toshiba 6-cell battery (all they sold); now despite the smaller cell size (6), after using this Toshiba battery for less than a year the Toshiba monitoring app again stated the battery was nearing end of rechargeable life.
It should be noted this laptop is not heavily used but used or turned on for an hour or couple hours 3 - 4 times a month, so no high charge/discharge cycles or prolonged inactivity. So I’ve limped along now for awhile having to keep it plugged with the AC charger. Something definitely off.
