Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that may help.
- First do uninstall/reinstall the battery driver from Device Manager.
- If it will still not work, do try a different AC adapter that has the same voltage and see if it will charge or not.
- Next to try is to test the AC adapter that you're using without the battery.
- Here's a video on how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWB35_tNJMI
- If the laptop will boot up normally without the battery and connect directly to the charger that means it's working properly.
- Put the battery back in and see if the same problem will persist or not.
- If the same problem will persist I would suggest replacing the battery itself.
