Hi,
Update the Bios version to the latest here.
Check if the ac adapter is recognized in the Bios (F2). BIOS > Main tab > Adapter Type.
Also, there is a Dell feature called Desktop Mode, created to protect the longevity of the battery by preventing the charge to get to a 100%. You can disable this feature. Right click your battery icon in the system tray, select "desktop mode battery" and disable the option.
