I have a dell inspiron 1520 and it says i have no battery even though it is plugged in it stays on for on average 10 minutes what is wrong with it?
You might try cleaning the contacts with a pencil eraser, but it is more likely your battery has given up the ghost.
If this machine is newish, the battery may be defective. If the system is still under warranty, contact Dell for a replacement.
If you've had this machine for more than a year or two, you've probably just reached the end of the batterys lifetime. Under normal usage a laptop battery is only good for a couple years and its just time for you to buy a new one.
Hope this helps.

Will your computer battery keep your computer from working even when plugged in?
Computers don't have batteries so I'm assuming you're talking about a laptop. Laptops with their battery SHOULD work when its plugged in. Some laptops can even work WITHOUT the battery but still plugged in. However, if your battery has a critical flaw (dead short) then even with it plugged in, it won't work. I suggest you try the laptop with the battery removed. If it works, that is the problem, otherwise, your laptop has other problems.

How do you fix the problem where my Dell Inspiron 1501 boots up and says the battery cannot be identified?
try this from the "bleepingcomputer" forum: I solved the problem by using up my battery until the the screen would black out. Afterwards, I rebooted it (again without using the AC adaptor) and the system warned me of low battery - to press F1. After pressing F1, I plugged the AC adaptor back and tried rebooting. The problem was solved!
