First you will find this: Compaq Presario 1200 Battery, Compaq Presario 1800 Battery, 116314-001
There are many small silver wires creating a jacket around the cable. After a few of them break from bending the cable during NORMAL usage there is a drop in voltage but still PLENTY to run and charge the computer. The whole thing about the CPU running at a slower speed is totally unnecessary and only there to further encourage a new purchase.
The wiring and AC adapter are DESIGNED to fail. I have never had one last longer than about a year. Oh, and if you try to get a non-Dell adapter (universal) it won’t work either.My Compaq Presario 700 Battery has not the same situation.
This is basically an engineered weakness causing many (Compaq Presario 900 Battery) AC adapter orders and a borderline scam if you ask me.

Start laptop as normally with AC supply, after complete booting of system, turn off AC plug, just press the cable (coming from adapter) towards the adapter (with normal force) and Turn On AC. Surprisingly it’s charging my Compaq Laptop Battery.
Put it all back together, and it works well. I now get no more notifications of unrecognised adapters and full speed operation whenever I want.
