Dell Latitude 5175 Keyboad Battery Solution
I need help with my tablet. When I connect the keyboard (with battery) power led start blinking
4 amber and 1 white
When I use tablet without keyboard everything if fine.
The tablet see the keyboard battery but uses only main battery. The keyboard battery wont discharge and it is not in use.
I checked the batteries in Dell Command power managment. Both batteries are excellent health.
Then I disassembled both keyboard and tablet. The batteries are different form-factor but the connectors are the same and the voltage is almost the same (0.2V)
So I swaped them vise versa. And the situation is the same.
It does not matter, which battery is installed in the keyboard. I cant make the pc use the secondary battery.
Where is the problem and how to make it work?

See this- https://www.dell.com/support/article/en-us/sln300759/how-to-use-and-troubleshoot-the-dell-latitude-5175-2-in-1-tablet?lang=en
Sounds like a failed KB battery.
