I just got this battery for my 1555 Dell and I got this from the computer: (plugged in, not charging). What should I do?

The power adapter has a signal wire in it that is known to fail and it sounds like the BIOS isn't recognizing it. Have you tried using another ac adapter?

I had the same problem, but it started before I replaced my original Dell battery. I switched to another Dell charger that we had that is a 90 and it works fine.

We have a dell inspiron, but it is a 1545. When we first got the battery, things went great but now it won't charge or show that it is charging. Don't know if it is the PC or the battery, so we are back to leaving it plug in all the time again.

Normal because that battery is not the battery of that laptop. I bought the same but threw it to the wastebasket. Useless

I got this for my dell inspiron 1525. It never charged more than 23%. I'm using for last 1 month. Now it charges only 15%.

Yes, I have the Dell Inspiron 1520. I just received the battery today, and it came with a 85 percent charge on it. I plugged it in to fully charge it, and it stopped at 99 percent. Time will tell if this thing works, and holds a charge

Claudio ... I have the same problem .. I purchased 2 new batteries and a new charger ... it's the computer and it could be several different things .. one is the board ... I have mine totally apart ... if I can figure anything out I'll let you know ... there is a test dell says you can run but you need a charged battery to perform the test ... that figures ... if you find out how to charge the battery without it in the laptop let me know !!!

I had a Dell Inspirion, this battery fit and operated fine without any issues. How old is your computer?

My dell computer detected this was not a Dell certified battery and would not charge or use it for power. I returned it no problem. You might be successful in your case but did not work for me.

I think you should check if the battery you have is a J1KND. My DELL model was not specified in the list but it is the same battery and it works perfectly well.

First, confirm that this this the correct replacement battery. Second, to be absolutely sure, take your laptop with the old battery down to a computer battery store or someone like Best Buy and have it checked. On my battery, due to the age of the battery, it wouldn't hold a charge any longer than 2-3 hours, so I replaced it. How old is your battery? Best of luck.

I am not sure. What I did was look up my style of dell and Amazon came up with selling the battery my laptop took. For the great price of this battery, you could order it and try it. If it doesn't work then return it.

Did you purchase the correct battery? I bought this one because it was exactly the same one the was in my laptop. I have had no problem with it at all. I kind of agree with the other person that you might have the wrong battery.

I don't think it is an actual Dell battery even though it's advertised as such. I've had mine for a few months now and it seems to hold a charge as well as the original battery did.

Mine never worked at all. My advice would be to do like I did: request a refund, then throw this battery in the garbage and spend a few bucks on an Anker or other decent brand. :-) Seriously, you may want to remove the battery while the computer is plugged in and see if it changes anything on the status display. If it changes, you know the battery is bad, if not, I would suspect a problem with the computer.

I got this for my Dell Inspiron 1525 and it only charged once to 100%, after that it would charge a bit but would not charge all the way. As of now the battery is sitting at 0% and won't charge. I've had the battery for about a week now.
