Default battery discharging?


"Jo-Anne" wrote in message
...
Using WinXP on a Dell Precision laptop that's about 6 or 7 years old.
Tonight I noticed the battery light was flashing red but I was running on
AC power (I always keep it plugged in). I pulled the power cord, and the
computer turned off; it should have kept running on the battery. I plugged
it back in and turned it on. The battery showed 1% remaining and that it
was being charged. It's up to 19% now.

Does this behavior mean that the battery is dying? If not, what could have
caused the problem?

Thank you!

Jo-Anne
