Most probably you have a Dead battery there , Batteries are considered a consumable item. They are composed of chemicals that will go inert after a period of time, thus reducing their ability to hold a charge. For this reason, Dell warrants the batteries on a portable system for one year after the original purchase date of the system and the normal life span of it is 1~2 years.
I am having a simillar problem with an inspirion E1405. I bought a new battery, but now it wont charge, but yet it runs on AC. Can the AC cord be in working condition, but not charge the battery? maybe a fuse?
There is no fuse - try a new (or a known working borrowed) Dell AC adapter. If it charges the battery, the adapter you have is faulty. If it does not, then your system board needs repair or replacement.
All rechargeable batteries wear out with time and usage. As time and cumulative use increase, the performance will degrade. For the typical user, noticeable reduction in run time generally will be observed after 18 to 24 months. For a power user, reduction in run time generally may be experienced prior to 18 months. We recommend buying a new Dell notebook battery when the run time does not meet your needs.
Well I would think that because of my last experience with my original battery. The remaining charge capacity was reduced to 30 minutes and then I realized I had to get it replaced. However in this case my computer acts as if there is zero charge capacity. The moment my computer is unplugged from AC power, it turns off. I'd expect that even though a year has passed, the charge capacity was reduced. Just a few weeks ago it was reduced to about 2 hours. But suddenly the connection between my laptop and my battery seemed to have been severed by something. Do you see why I am reluctant to believe it is the natural loss of charge capacity? Sorry I don't mean to sound prude or condescending or anything but I don't know how else to phrase it.
