Battery not charging on Lenovo Thinkpad (not native, but new), is there a solution?

Good afternoon toasters and toasters!
I recently purchased a new battery for the Thinkpad T440 in an online store, I didn’t check the possibilities, because. I am physically in another country, I waited until they brought it.
When you connect the battery, at the stage between loading BIOS and WINDOWS, a warning appears that Lenovo was unable to determine the originality of the battery, so it will not be charged and generally used. And a similar window after loading into Windows.
I understand perfectly well that this appears in order to buy original batteries from official manufacturers, but I would like to solve the problem in a different way ... maybe by updating the BIOS ... I
found a similar case and a solution on the Internet (source codes on github )
I tried to try, but I already ran into the first problem: how to get a BIOS dump)
In general, please tell me what will help me reconcile Lenovo and a non-native battery

@tomnolane

unfortunately the solution to this problem (if we exclude the option proposed by Victor , which is also part of the solution) is to carefully study the s \ n of the battery being bought and buy the one that fits, otherwise without soldering knowledge and principles of electrical circuits - you can seriously damage the device or cause a fire.
