    Hi,

    I have a dell Inspiron about a year and a half now and a few weeks back when i log on an icon is telling me that the battery is reaching the end of its usable life?and also when i turn on the laptop it says it doesnt recognize the battery but it still works. isint the whole point of having a battery is that it always charges?

    Batteries will wear over time, your laptop is telling you that it's ability to hold a charge is diminishing, it happens, but it will still work, just not as long as it once did. If you need your laptop on the go, then buying a new battery is the only solution.

    ah right ok cheers, its only used at home, so it should be fine for a while longer, but that icon and startup thing is annoying me so i may just order a new one.
