1. Plug the AC power adapter in a wall outlet.
2. Connect the AC Power adaptor supplied with charger to the DC in jack.
3. "Status" indicator shows RED when the charger is ready and "Charger" indicator shows flashing Green when waiting for battery pack.
4. Slide battery pack in the charger and "Charger" indicator goes RED when charging.
5. "Charger" indicator show RED and GREEN alternatively when battery pack has more than 90% charged.
6.When the battery pack is fully charged, the "Charger" indicator shows a steady green.
7. After the battery pack fully charged, slide the battery pack out.
8. Unplug DC power, "CHARGE" and "STATUS" indicators go out.
It could also be that the battery has problems and doesn't work correctly you should see also if the battery is put on correctly and if it is from the some company as the old one... it couldn't be the laptop because the problem started when you bought the new battery.
------------------
Dell has a chip in its AC adapter checked by a chip in the laptop. The wiring is poor and there are lots of reports of this failing (uses the pin in the center of the plug). Dell bios will slow down the CPU if it "sees" a non-Dell adapter - mine changes from 1600mhz to 600mhz and it will NOT charge the battery. Many people (including me) blame the battery and buy new ones, many, including me, have bought replacement DELL ac adapters and not fixed the problem. The chip in the laptop can get damaged easily and claim all adapters are non-dell. The fix? Dell says buy a new motherboard. All because they built in this bogus circuit and bios code to force people to buy their adapters. Did I say I use a non-Dell adapter? Nope, mine is real and my battery is dead.. It's my last Dell - ever. (there are programs to bypass the bios to put the CPU speed back where it is supposed to be - I have not found anything to make my laptop charge the battery.
There are companies which sell separate battery chargers to charge outside the laptop. Maybe they are owned by Dell, too? HA!

Why does SYS flash on your 1993 Corvette speedometer - What does that mean?
This light flashes due to general system faults. This light may flash if the voltage drops below 9v. The most common cause of this light flashing intermittently is an old or weak battery. Get the battery checked and re-charge or replace the battery if necessary. If the battery is OK then check the computer for codes because one or more of the electrical systems may have a problem.
