Battery not detetected in Del 1545 laptop??

An absolutely waste of my money the thing died in less than 2 weeks. As I stated before you get what you pay for and this is "JUNK"

Really don't know what could be causing this. A guess would be a defective charger or some other hardware problem. When I got my battery, I just took it out of the box, put it in the computer and let it charge. Been working fine ever since. Perhaps you could look on line with Dell 1545 laptop not recognizing battery." Usually, other people will experience similar issues.

My battery was detected by the system. However, the system alternated between charging and line AC power. The icon kept flashing on and off, making the system unstable and unusable. I blamed my PC for the problem because the old battery had begun exhibiting the same behavior. The PC works fine on AC line power, a bummer of a situation. I did not return the battery because I felt that my laptop was likely at fault.

Turn off the laptop power. Then,slide and release the old battery before snap the new one in - there is only one way the battery can get in.

The battery is attached very well with a lock. It made the laptop easier to pick up and use very well made.

Ask for a picture of the battery and check to see when the Battery was made, if its more than a year old you don't want it. How to check? http://mikebeach.org/2011/02/08/reading-the-date-code-on-your-dell-laptop-battery/

The battery is internal. The only way to remove it is to remove the screws in the bottom of the computer. Removing the screws may void your warranty.

It says 94% available but there is zero battery life. Computer shuts down immediately if not connected to electrical outlet

It is possible to toggle charging off. There is a FN+ key combination (forgot which maybe Fn+F2 with the battery and the lightening bolt?) so you can, for example, plug your laptop in to, say, an airplane recepticle, without charging the battery which is apparently a safety concern.If this feature is 'on' and you replace the battery, no this will not fix the issue.

Try a "battery re-boot:' Shut down the PC, unplug it, remove the battery, plug in the laptop, boot up, shut it down again, unplug it, insert the battery, plug it in, and reboot. I'm not sure what operating system you're using, but to be safe, generate a restore point.

That's really possible. If neither your original batter nor the new Anker battery charges at all then it's likely to be either your AC adapter or the laptop itself. If if the laptop will not stay on when plugged into the wall without the battery, then it's probably the AC adapter (try another to find out). If it stays on while plugged into the wall then it's likely the charing mechanism inside the laptop.

Well, not properly, but is like to have it. You click on where is the battery and then there is no contact, and the battery is save inside the hole. Regards. Jordi

The battery is not removable. I only removed the keyboard of the system to check out expansion options. The battery is not soldered to the main board, however removing the battery will require extensive disassembly of the system (I used to be a field tech for Lenovo), which may be too bothersome for most people. I could not tell if the battery is glued into the chassis.

I don't know, my problem is apparently not the battery but a flaw in the circuitry that should uses power but notifies me that the battery is low. The new battery didn't change anything and after talking to Dell I resolved to never buy another Dell product.

The battery is not removable in any apparent fashion, and the machine has a little port for a paper clip which is labeled "Battery reset pinhole" in the manual (apparently it simulates removing the battery for a hard reset).

Are you sure it's not charging, or is there just no battery icon? Mine laptop lost the battery icon until I charged and used the battery 3 times, then the battery icon appeared. If it really isn't charging, I would send it back.

I was just about to suggest (and feeling a bit smug about it, I'll admit) that you simply re-boot. I had forgotten about the non-removable battery. Oops. Who feels foolish now? This is a great post. I hope somebody comes up with a useful suggestion.

Dead battery? Get a jump! haha Seriously now.Are you sure its the battery? Does it work when its plugged in? As soon as you unplug,does it stop working? If that's the case,I'd take it in to a computer shop to get looked at.Is it still under warranty,& if that's the case,send it in.I haven't looked at my own manual,but can you change the battery yourself? I'd see if I could do it first myself,instead of paying omeone for something you might be able to do yourself.

Pull the bottom casing off and drop in the battery (it is marked to show the + and -). That's all there is to it.
