The battery cannot be identified&quot; - on Dell Inspiron E1505 - won't charge, only works under AC power. Battery charges outside the computer, but whenI put it in the labtop it is not recognized. It's an original dell battery. Computer shuts down immediately when I unplug the powercord and the loaded battery is in.

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
