Battery Indicator Light Goes Off When Not Fully Charged
I got a used battery that was reportedly good.
When I got it one light was lit on the battery test.
When I plugged in the adapter the battery light indicator came on as it should.
After charging for about 2 hours, the battery light went out!
The charge is now at 26% (2 lights on test) now but seems to not charge any more
Pulling the battery out and re-seating it makes the light come back on momentarily but then
goes back out.
When using the computer the battery indicator comes back on (solid) for a while and then goes back off
I don't know if the battery is bad, the AC power adapter is bad, bios is bad, or hardware is bad.

Latitude (C Family)
Battery (851UY) (1800 mAh)

OK, I admit the above was strange but it now has finally starting charging correctly, all the way up to 100%, but
when I run the laptop, it goes down and then off in about 5 mintues.
So I'm assuming that this is a bad battery that I got?
Even though it charges up to 100% but doesn't keep the laptop running for more than 5 minutes.
