    The most common problem is that the battery isn't very well 'fit' into the slot. Why not try taking out the battery, blow up some dry air on the contact points and try fitting it in? If you've already done that step and it didn't work, you might just want to Flash your BIOS. Just download the updated driver from Dell official website and install it.

    I had a similar problem few months ago. Repairing Windows worked in my case. Give it a try - would be just worth the time. It's a common problem with most of the Dell laptops.

    Thanks #-Link-Snipped-# , I tried the first two methods and those didn't worked in my case.
    Then I found a solution (somewhat trivial) which worked 😁. This solution involves using battery to the critical charge(0%) and then fully recharge. Here is the link: #-Link-Snipped-#

    #-Link-Snipped-# congratulations on getting the problem solved and sharing how to fix it. The problem with such issues is that there are no clear answers and most of the solutions are found by trial and error. What you did is called 'Battery Conditioning' - which is recommended when you've a new battery. The technique is also used in extending the battery life of mobiles. I've tried it several times before and have always got great results.
