Method 1

Please power off computer, remove AC adapter & battery, and then press " Power On " button for 15 seconds to release status flea power. Replace battery, adapter, and then power on system. Hopefully battery's charge work normally.

I'm assuming windows 10 is on the system......

The battery is the original Dell battery or aftermarket battery? Please keep this mind:

Hi MIANABBAS2017,

When did the issue start? Are you using an original Dell OEM Adapter? When you plug in the adapter to the system, does the adapter stay firm or does it fall off easily? Is the adapter frayed? Could you test with another power adapter if possible?

Restart the system and press f2 key to enter BIOS - check the adapter status in BIOS with and without the adapter plugged in. Also, wiggle the adapter cable at the end and see if the status changes in BIOS at any point. Check the battery health in BIOS (if applicable).

While in BIOS - go to Power Management -> primary battery charge configuration and check if you have set a custom stop charge point.

Also, please click my DELL-username and write me a private conversation with the service tag and your contact details(Name and Email) for case records.

Let us know if you have any other queries.
