The battery is old and won't charge. Ordered a new one, came SP306. What BIOS version must be installed on the PG M3 in order for the battery to work? And where to download everything you need?

You can check following FAQ , if not already done. But you have to wait till your account was checked. Why do you have to log in and register for downloading export-restricted software and what data do you need for this? regards sancruz
