Most likely your laptops circuit board is bad and unable to recharge any battery, genuine or after market.

I would take the laptop battery out and clean the metal pins with a can of compressed air. If you still receive the error message after putting the battery back in, you will need to buy a replacement battery.

Really don't know what could be causing this. A guess would be a defective charger or some other hardware problem. When I got my battery, I just took it out of the box, put it in the computer and let it charge. Been working fine ever since. Perhaps you could look on line with Dell 1545 laptop not recognizing battery." Usually, other people will experience similar issues.

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.

Look at the model number on the battery in your computer and you should be able to tell if it's the right one

You should have an auto loading system on your computer that loads the necessary information in your computer when you plug it into your computer. That is all I did and it worked fine. Check and see if your batteries are both functioning properly.

Look for the series number on the computer then Google that number and it should come up. My series number was behind the battery.

I have had this computer for approximately 14 months and my battery holds charge now for only about an hour to 90 minutes. I am having difficulty finding another one, can someone please tell me what replacement battery would work? thanks!

Are you sure this particular batter is compatible with you model of Dell? I had no problems with mine. You may also try reinstalling the battery. When I tried to install the first time I didn't get the battery seated properly. Beyond that I am at a loss.

That is the battery in my computer. When I put the model number it is too old of a computer for amazon to recognize it.

It will plug in and provide power for the laptop but WILL NOT charge the battery. I'd recommend getting something different. Again, this is just a power cable, not a charging cable. But yes it will fit your Dell Inspiron 1501.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525. I bought my battery for this type of computer. I also ordered a new charger as well, It works great after I charged my computer for 24 hrs. You may need to buy another charger. Did you charge yours????

I also want to point out the correct screwdriver is a #1 Phillips to put new battery in. Just make sure its correctly seated with pressure against it to stop from stripping screws .cr2450 size battery as noted in instructions.

I think you should return the battery if it's not being detected by your laptop. Sorry for the late response. If you can't return it because it's so long since you purchased it try selling it.

Well...it could be your battery. Try using the plug after removing the battery from it and if the laptop comes on, its definitely your battery!!

I have just recently purchased this battery for my N5010 and when I put it in my computer I get a popup that says the model number for the primary battery cannot be determined and will not charge my battery. It also says no battery is detected. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1525. When shopping for a new battery, I checked to see that it was compatible with the Inspiron 1525, and that is the battery that I bought (and have had no problems). I didn't check the volts so I don't have an answer for that. I wish I could be of more help.
