i have a dell lap top and just today the battery light is flashing an orange red...since ive gotten my lap top this as never happened before. all i do is plug my lap top with the adaptor and it charges. my battery now all of a sudden while its being charged is flashing red. and the only time ive seen it do that is when im using my lap top and its being powerd by only the battery and not the adaptor. i keep looking at my battery status and it says 86%...ive been charging it for nearly 45 mins and it hasnt changed it stays at 86.

your battery may be bad or your cables my not be connected properly to the computer. I would check the cables and then call dell customer service because they should be able to help you out and it is a free fix if they can. also if your battery is bad it may be under warranty so talking to dell should help you there too

Battery went bad... No longer able to hold a charge for very long.
How old is the laptop?
Depending on how old the laptop is... If the warrenty is good and not expired. You should be able to contact Dell and get a replacement battery free of charge.
If the laptop's warrenty has expired you may have to purchase another battery from Dell or you can purchase on through Ebay or other site that sells laptop batteries.
Also, check with Dell's website and see if the battery is one of those being recalled.
