Battery not charging. I have a Inspiron 1550 and the battery is not charging beyond 7 % . does this look like a battery issue?

Most laptop battery should last approximately three years with normal use. How old is your laptop and is this the original battery? If your laptop is more than 3 years old with the same battery then I suggest you purchase a new battery. If you're unable to power up your laptop when it is plugged in with a dead battery, then you should replace the AC power supply with a new one.

Could be a lot of things. Most likely, if you have the original charger, it can not be working properly as well. Replace it with one that has a good rating.

If you can take the battery out and run your laptop on just the power adapter - the battery is dead. My battery only lasted 5-6 months. Initially I got 3 hours on a charge - no more.

I have the same machine, but it told me that the battery was critical and needed replaced. It wouldn't even hold a charge and had to keep it plugged in to use it. I bought a new battery from Amazon and it solved the problem.

Hello. I have the inspiron n5010 aka 15r. It works great. There is one issue. Occasionally I will get a plugged in but not charging. All I have to do its remove the plug and put it back in. Then it works, issue 2 is sometimes my battery monitor application will tell me that it was unable to get battery name or information. That is rare but I just have to unplug the charger and put it back in. One thing to look for. This battery isn't how the pictures list it. It sticks out the bottom not the back, I personally like it because it helps with air flow

Well it's difficult to say, It's only been 2 months since I've had it. And it still works now. My only issue with it is that once in a while it occurs when it wont charge even when it's plugged in. But because I'm a buffer in computers I can fix that issue. all I can say is that it's better than my old battery cause I basically had to have it plugged in. with this battery I dont... Did that answer your question? sorry if it didnt.

Is it possible the battery is not charged? The instructions suggest it is necessaryto discharge fully then recharge. It may be it came discharged, and must be on charge to be recognized, I bought an inexpensive battery and it lasted aboutthree days, then began indicating it should be replaced. The only other possibilitywould be an incorrect battery?Best regards,Sammy

Unfortunately, I have the same problem and no amount of charging is fixing it. It almost feels like there is actually no battery inside, or it used up its number of possible recharges. Returning it to Amazon. Will try one more time to order this thing.

I am sorry that your battery doesn't charge, it could be your battery charger. Get a 12 volt meter and check the charger and if the charger is not working then replace the charger. If the battery is the problem ask amazon what to do. I have not had a problem charging mine but it does take awhile to charge.

Hi TonySnap.My battery is also refusing to charge!There should be a warranty on all products, I intend to return, this product as soon as I return to theUSA.

I have received the same problem with this battery. I suspect there may be something wrong with the charge regulating circuitry within the battery itself. The laptop should still work with the power cable plugged in.

Make sure that you bought the right battery first. Look up what kind of laptop you have usually it is printed on the laptop somewhere. Mine is a toshiba satellite. Then google what kind of battery it takes. Make sure that the battery is properly installed and locked in place(tabs near battery) and that it doesn't wiggle. Next is the charging unit. Make sure that its fully put together and connected to your pc power slot. If the battery is right and the power charging unit is fully conected and still no charge check to see if there is an orange light when you plug in the charger. If there is your prolly have a defective battery and should return it, if not then you prolly need a new charger or internal charger connector(pc end).

I had similar experience. Try ordering a new AC adapter cord too. My battery now holds the full charge and its been 2 months and its still okay.

My battery works great, all day and I use it a lot. If you are sure that your battery charger is working, then you must have a bad battery. My battery came to me and had over half a charge when I got it. Exchange it and you will end up happy with the extended life battery.

Dear Stephanie, When you say that the laptop doesn't detect the battery do you mean when you turn it on nothing happens. What I'm trying to say (not very well) is does it operate at all with the battery in place. One of the batteries I got is not detected by the computer but I just left in and connected it to power and let it charge for the same amount of time as the old one. Then I removed power, the battery was charged and worked fine in the laptop. It is kind of a pain though because you never have any warning, when it goes to laptop shuts down and you have to charge it again. Later I got another battery (newer) and it was detected and works properly indicating charging and charged. It was a real improvement because it lasted almost 4 hours and the original battery that came in the laptop only lasted a little over an hour. Hope this info helps a little. Smiley

Sounds faulty to me. It has been a while since I bought my replacement battery and cannot recall if I had to charge it prior to use. All I know is that mine works great. Never have had a problem.

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
