The battery sensor is only measuring voltage, but the only way to properly test a battery is under load.

Having the battery voltage look OK but collapse when under load is the classic symptom of a bad battery, but the charger may indeed be faulty and what the sensor is reading is a "surface charge."
Are you sure it is the battery and not the charger cord?

Try charging the laptop when the tablet is off and see if it will work. If it does, it is probably the cord and not the battery.

If it won't charge then either, you may have a damaged/blown charging circuit on the motherboard. Which would need fixing (if you or another can) or need to have the motherboard replaced.

NOTE: If the laptop is under warranty, I would contact the manufacturer about a repair or replacement in regard to the charging circuit.
