Some of the 'D's are touchy about power adapters, the D800 will put up a warning about "Not Charging Battery" if it cannot identify the Power Supply.
A Battery usually dies gradually, used to go two hours, now goes twenty minutes. Sudden Zero might be as simple as dirty contacts on the battery or connectors in the D505.
but then i lost adaptor and battery went to zero and remained zero for 20 days. finally after 20 days i got a adaptor and tried to recharge the battery but its not charging.
status is charging but its remains at zero even after hours.

is there any way i can charge my laptop battery?
power adaptor used: 65W For Latitude D505
On the D800, the round plug that goes into the back of the computer has a third post (a pin in the center) that provides the 'ID' to allow charging. There had been a 'Recall' on those before I ordered mine due to the computer no longer recognizing them as "Dell Brand". However; if this were the problem, there should be a notice on the screen.
When I ordered this D800, saw that Dell also sold separate, dedicated chargers that would be useful to keep a supply of charged batteries on hand.
In our local Yellow Pages, there is listed BatteriesPlus, they have been useful for handheld radio, cellphone and camera batteries but did not stock a particular computer battery when I needed it. However, that sort of business actually 'rebuilds' rechargeable battery's which actually contain inside, a dozen or so cells (batteries) and they may be able to at least test your battery, worth a phone call.
The battery that came with the LM; going on two years, was down to less than :30 use time. Dell 'Spare Parts' had them for about half the price as the Dell 'Store' and they said the reason was that the 'Store' ones were New and 'Spare Parts' could be "overhauled".
I ordered the less expensive one and now, after over six years of careful use (don't discharge often), it still supplies hours of usage.
Unlike Lead Acid batteries, normal best shelf storage for those batteries is in a discharged state, so your 20 days at zero charge should not have caused any harm.
