paulabdeel: Sorry about that. Go to www.wikihow.com I believe you will find useful information there. I am reinstalling my OS, so I cannt reach my files.

gigabytes: I have same problem with my laptop. Now it not charging and its at zero level. If light goes off, my system follows too.

I changed my charging cable, cleaned the terminals - it didn't work, the only option left for me to try is to sub d battery and see if it will work. I googled the whole thing, some say its board problem some software some hardware. I will be going to computer village to get new battery but before then, I want to swap and see. My computer is Dell inspiron 1420, currently running on windows 8 pro build 9200. Alas, the problem didn't start with windows 8, it started with (follow-come) vista.

Any further help with be appreciated.

kunletiwoo: For your information: Li-Ion batteries begin aging the moment they are produced and there is little you can do to prevent this. What causes the aging is that the electrolyte slowly breaks down the positive plate, causing the internal resistance to increase to a point where no energy can be delivered. A partial charge and low temperatures slow down this process and hence increase the lifetime of your battery.

Li-Ion Battery DOs

-partially discharge and recharge (no memory effect).
-charge at lower voltage.
-take out battery when laptop is running with AC power connected.
-store battery in refrigerator with a 40-50% charge.
-cycle the battery every few weeks or after every 30 partial charges.

Li-Ion Battery DON’Ts

-deep discharge battery.
-trickle charge.
-ultra-fast charge.
-leave fully charged battery in laptop while running on AC power (heat damage).
-freeze battery.

kunletiwoo: Defective Battery!... Please replace.
