http://askubuntu.com – I have a Dell Studio XPS 16 laptop. I have replaced the battery and the charger. While the laptop will run on AC power it will not charge the battery and the battery is such like: http://www.scontobatteria.com/dell-studio-xps-16.html . It says plugged in not charging. If I restart the laptop I get an error screen that says the charger is not recognized. Is there a solution to this? I know there is an identification pin in the plug end of the charger and it is still there. (HowTos)

I get a 5200mah Dell Inspiron 1525 Battery on www.laptopbatteryselling.com .can i use the nicd battery charger to charger my new battery,

I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 and I have Ubuntu 11.10, and in my dell laptop it allow me to discharge the battery when I am using the power cable and that helps in the life of the battery, and I used to do that in Windows.

The shortcut to activate it is (FN) + (F3) but when I use it in Ubuntu it shows:

AC adapter laptop battery processor

and nothing helps in what I am looking for.

Right now the power statistics show that:

Energy when full: 25.5 Wh Energy (design): 93.2 Wh

And indeed the battery doesn't seem to be lasting as long as it used too.

My question: Is this data reliable?
