Upgrading
BIOS! If it isn't broken don't fix it. Upgrading is a scapegoat fix, and many
manufactures have a disclaimer. "You are on you own", and the likes for a
reason. Most solutions are found elsewhere.
However,
if you truly need to update read this to help you with the upgrade. You don't
want to end up with a brick.

There is no significant difference other than the build version with the latest build being the one you received and the best in that class of notebook, the A200 series.
You received what you ordered it is just the latest edition and you want that kind of service from Toshiba a great notebook maker.
Sounds like dead cells or dead circuitry in the battery, If the cells or circuitry in the battery are shorting across in the battery than all the voltage is being robbed to "charge it". Hopefully the voltage regulating chips on the board are not corrupt as this will cause the system to short everytime a battery is put in.
