Hi Len,

How long have you been facing this issue? There is a possibility that the third party battery is not working (not compatible) with your system. It is recommended to use a Dell battery in Dell systems. You can try re-seating the battery and see if that makes any difference. Connect the old battery with your system (battery which was shipped along with your system) to check if that works fine. Alternatively, check this battery with any other laptop, if possible.

Please reply in case you have any further questions.

Hi Len,

Thank you for the quick reply. Take out the battery and put it back in and check if that makes any difference. Also, connect

the old battery with your system (battery which was shipped along with your system) to check if that works fine. Alternatively, check this battery with any other laptop.

Keep me updated. Please reply in case you have any further questions.
