Warning message on my laptop says the battery won't charge because it's not a Dell 90w adapter... Now what?

It will not charge the battery in a Dell, but it will power it. I have plugged mine into the battery pack at 48% battery, used the laptop for 4 hours and still had 48% battery after I unplugged it.

I'm not sure. Call LEDwholesalers they might be able to get you a different power adapter. They were very helpful when I had questions.

I had the same problem, but it started before I replaced my original Dell battery. I switched to another Dell charger that we had that is a 90 and it works fine.

I use the dell 90 watt charger that came with my laptop and don't have any issues.

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.

I think you should return the battery if it's not being detected by your laptop. Sorry for the late response. If you can't return it because it's so long since you purchased it try selling it.

AC adapters, also known as "the brick" often fail and you can find replacements at Dell or on the internet. Be sure to order one with the proper output, see info printed on the brick. It does not have to be a Dell product, generic is fine. Before ordering make sure you are getting power to your plug outlet, borrow someone else AC adapter. A short test should not harm your computer; use your adapter on their computer. Remove your battery, clean electrical connections with a pencil eraser, re-install battery. With your AC adapter plugged in, check battery icon in lower right hand corner of screen to see if adapter is plugged in and charging. You need to test before you buy something you don't need.

Verify you are using the properly rated amperage adapter. Verify the battery isn't overheating. Another thing to try is to shut the laptop down then try to charge. I have purchased a number of anker batteries for client's laptops and have had excellent results!!The last thing to verify is that your laptop identifies the battery in the bios if your laptop supports it.

DW9117 is a battery charger not a battery, what is the battery you are trying to use?

I checked the sticker on the bottom of the laptop for the batteries model number. If that fails.. google the make and model of your laptop followed by battery and something should come up.

The screen surprisingly needs a large charger, I believe it's the 12.5V or the same one that you use for your laptop works

You were supposed to fully charge this when you got it before first use, but it probably will still recharge. If your settings are right, it will recharge just being left in the laptop plugged into a power supply. These are not like alkaline batteries that you use and throw away. If you don't have an AC to DC adapter for the laptop you will need to buy one while they are still readily available. I bought 2 so I would have a spare. Check your settings in the control panel if you don't see the battery charge indicator going up in percentage of battery power. I did not have this problem but it may be you laptop was accidentally set at some point to use only batteries. Let me know if you find an external charger. I bought 2 of these batteries and it would be nice to be able to keep one charged outside of putting it in the plugged in laptop. If such a thing was original equipment Dell probably sells or sold a device, but most of the time I just leave the laptop plugged in unless I need to take it somewhere. I can't say if that is good or bad practice since I don't know how to prevent the laptop from using the battery. There are in fact times you may have to take the battery out and unplug the laptop to deal with never shutting down type problems since simply rebooting will return you to where you left off, stuck.

There may be two separate issues with the system. You may have had a bad power supply from the beginning, and the new replacement battery cant get a charge from the faulty power supply any better than the original. My Dell 6400 did put-up the message about not recognizing the battery, but the battery works and recharges fine in spite of the message.

I think you should check if the battery you have is a J1KND. My DELL model was not specified in the list but it is the same battery and it works perfectly well.

try disconnecting the power, remove the battery , then replace the battery and the power , restart and if it does start call dell and have them remotely check out your laptop

You should look at the back of your charger to see what family that your charger currently is. The charger that I can see for your notebook via picture from Newegg looks like the standard dell charger which this would be one of them; the question would be wattage needed but you should most likely only need 60-90 for that notebook so this charger will work; if you needed 130 then the charger would power pc but not charge battery at same time; and the notebook would run slower; you would get a message. I have several of these that I use for different Dell notebooks including an XPS for my son. You should look at the back of your charger to see what family that your charger currently is.

Correct. The battery I received was not a Dell battery and my computer did not recognize it.
