Hello!

I have a four year old Inspiron E1505 laptop and have just bought a replacement battery for it. The trouble is, it doesn't seem to be recharging. Indeed, when my AC power cord is plugged into my computer, the battery charge light doesn't come on. then again, it hasn't come on in about a year. I left my computer shut down overnight when the battery was down to 10% (it arrived with 60% charge) but eight hours later, it was only at 17%.

Is this a common problem with replacement batteries? How do I resolve this issue?
