Default Battery problems

About a month ago my computer starts up with this message - 'Warning: The
battery cannot be identified. This system will be unable to charge this
battery. Press any key to continue. Press F2 two times to enter setup.
Press F12 and enter any key to enter boot menu.'
This happened out of the blue, nothing happened to cause this problem e.g.
any error messages.
What can I do to stop this message appearing everytime I use my laptop?

Call the laptop mftr.'s tech support. This is a hardware issue, not a
Windows issue.

Consult the laptop's manufacturer about replacing the defective
battery, or to find out why the laptop's battery cahrger is reporting
the incorrect battery. This _isn't_ a Windows issue.
