Battery dead? New Install?

winguy123, on Sunday 15 June 2008 à 13:23:21
Hello,


I have an old Dell Inspiron 4150 that had a lot of misc software on it, and I hadn't used it in a year. I reinstalled Windows XP SP1 (I'll do the updates too), wiping my HD and starting from scratch. It runs fine now, but the battery is completely dead, or at least it thinks the battery is dead. The laptop sees that the battery is there (shows under Power Option Properties > Power Meter), but shows 0 charge. I had it plugged in all night, so it should be charged. I don't know if the problem existed before I reinstalled--never checked the battery. Any ideas? Is my battery just dead-dead? Is there a way to check? I really don't want to order a new battery to find out it won't work either because of some other issue.


Thanks!
Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

Hello



All batteries are destined to die. The average lifespan of laptop batteries is between 2 to 3 years ( under proper care ) or between 300 to 500 charge/ discharge cycles. How old is yours ?
