Battery "charging" but not chargingClosed

Question

Hello,

My Dell Inspirion 1150, 5 years old, is not charging its battery when connected to AC adaptor.  Power meter reads "charging," but battery level keeps dropping.  I tried removing/reinstalling battery, and that worked enough to raise batterylevel from 70% to 87%, but then it started dropping again.  I'm afraid it will run out and I won't be able to boot up.  Any advice?

Hello,

I had the same problem with my Dell Precision M60 it's also 5 years old, I solved the problem by buying a new battery runs good now, no problem.

Hi,
 
Thanks for your reply.  I'll test a new battery.
 
I've had multiple problems with this machine, literally from day 1.  It's now on its fifth motherboard.  Fortunately it was on extended warranty until a month ago.
 
This is the second battery from one of the repairs.

Don't think I'll buy Dell again when I replace, which may be soon.
