I contacted the seller with details about the battery not holding a charge. I was sent instructions for returning the laptop. I responded that I like the laptop and don't want to send it back but I'd like a replacement battery. I was sent a pdf for return shipping when I was very clear I wanted to keep the laptop. Eventually they offered me a $30 refund. At this point I learned how to check the battery -- it was a 60% and should have been at least 80%.  Communication with the seller was slow -- and they were not prepared to solve the problem. Because I like this laptop so much I am keeping it and  using it plugged in. A new battery would cost quite a lot more than $30 and there would be shipping as well. I cannot recommend this seller even though I like the laptop a lot.
