[Resolved]  Dell / Inspiron 1525 — battery not charging

hey i m also facin d same problem...my battery s not charging above 21%...wats d use den cant carry d laptop...need to change d charger...

Hi,

I have the same problem with my 1525 Inspiron Laptop that is just out of warranty.

Dell, people do not care customers after warranty vanishes, it just started giving problems after 1yr. 3 months of purchase.

From above complaints I feel, I will not recommend rather will stop anybody known who is purchasing Dell Laptop.

I bought a Dell 1525 in May 2008 which is out of warranty now. Battery no longer charging and completely exhausted. dont know what to do now..

I too have a Dell inspiron 1525 and have charging problems, even with a Brand New battery!. I have read multiple complaints on different web sites about this. It is obviously a huge issue and a costly one to the consumer. I really think Dell should recall all these laptops and fix them at no cost to the consumer. I have heard three things. 1) it is a charger issue (I have 2 chargers and don't think both are faulty) 2) It is the motherboard connection site and the fault of the consumer (hogwash as SOOOOO many consumers have this same issue. 3) people should update the BIOS, (I have done this to no avail) Dell own up and recall these or you won't have too many former Dell clients buying anything Dell in the future!

All of sudden the problem of battery not getting charging after 46% and the very next day the status of not charging more than 9%, now 5%. Why it is happening like that? DELL has to answer to the problem. What is the guarenty that new battery will not behave the same way?

I got my Inspiron 1525 with a 6-cell battery on 15th March 2008. I have the same problem too! The battery hasn't been charging for 2 months now!

Hi Guys,

I totally agree with u . I really think the april - 2008 stock of dell laptops are faulty. Even i have purchase dell inspiron 1525 in april - 2008. My motherboard was changed thrice, processor was changed twice, hard disk was changed once, ram was change, keyboard was changed.

Now iam facing the battery problem . its not getting charged . i would also like to mention that my laptop usage is very less, still i am facing the battery problem.

I really think dell is cheating on its customers. even the replacements are not new, its refurbished.

I really don't recommend dell to anyone.

Bye

Dell / Inspiron 1525 — very poor performance and poor service support

plz help me

facing d same problem!!! the battery is completely gone!!! its saying consider replacing battery!!! can u guys explan wht do mean by tht??


wht will be d price of new battery??

its urgent!!!

dell- this is madness abt ur battery!!! so sad!!! i vill never reccommend other 2 go dell!!!

I have a dell latitude D630 and have the same problem with battery. It goes dead on you exactly after one year! Is dell programming/manufacturing the batteries to go dead after one year? It is so pathetic, one day it is giving you 3 hours of backup and the next day it suddenly comes down to 20 minutes of backup. I have changed the 6 cell battery with a nine cell, and it also went dead after 6 months. I have now again got a 6 cell battery from original dell supplier and they are willing to give only three months warranty. They delivered one two weeks ago and it died yesterday, so now they have given me a replacement (it was under three months warranty). But now they say that the replacement unit is not under any warranty. SO if this one goes dead, i'll have to pay for a new battery. I'll instead throw the laptop away :-(. YOu at dell, wake up!

The bad stock of April 2008 assumption does not seem right to me. I live in Pakistan and unlike you guys I have a latitude d630, not the inspiron model, but still have the same battery problem like you guys are facing. Infact there are 23 people in my office using the same model (Latitude D630). The office bought these laptops for us in November 2007. Disappointingly all the 23 laptop users have changed their batteries at least twice because of this battery going dead after a year problem:-(.

same problem guys..bought the laptop around an year back..0% plugged in, not charging.i saw this forum today..could'nt believe that so many people are facing the same problem..and i thought i was using the laptop a bit too much..i dont know wat to do..just looking for a new battery..CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE RIGHT PRICE FOR DELL INSPIRON 1525 BATTERY?? .
