How old is the battery? There is no such thing as overcharging a battery nowadays. Batteries now have safeguards. You should not drain the battery completely either. That was for old style batteries from years ago.
Check the Battery Status to see if the battery has reached end of life. If it has you need to buy a genuine Dell replacement battery. Depending on the cost and the age of the computer, maybe considering replacing the laptop with a new model is more cost effective. You can use the laptop with the adapter always plugged in if you don't need the mobility of a laptop. You might even try to use the laptop with the battery removed. Many models can work that way as a desktop replacement.
You should always post the complete name of your model. There are many 15R models.
