I have a Dell Studio 1535 running Windows Vista Home Premium. &nbsp;The problem I'm having is the computer will not charge the battery. &nbsp;I have tried two new batteries to no avail.<br />
<br />
Just after the Dell BIOS screen I'm given the following error: The battery cannot be identified. &nbsp;This error is with a generic battery.<br />
<br />
When booted into Windows the system states not charging but reads as 15000 hours left on the battery when using an OEM battery. &nbsp;When using the after market battery it states discharging.<br />
<br />
I have updated the BIOS, removed the battery and AC adapter then purged the power.

Dell Studio 1535 will not charge battery

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.
