Just put in the new battery and it started up right away with no AC power
needed. I guess it was faulty hardware.
Thank you all so much (especially you Bob),

One more thing. I checked in my /sys directory again for the power_supply
just to see what happens. When I checked the first time I must not have had
the battery inserted because now I have AC and BAT0 in power_supply
directory.
I ran ls -last on the BAT0 directory in the sys directory and this
Interesting. Well when I pull the plug it does drop out immediatley. So
I'm not sure what to make of all this really. I'll post what happens with
the new battery when I get it.
Thanks again,

Oh! I just saw something else too. This is definitely conflicting
information from the battery. The last full capacity is 3.3 AH but it
has 4.4 AH remaining? But

This information is in conflict with the previous information that you
posted saying that you didn't have any battery directories but just AC
directories. Perhaps between then and now your battery became

You can tell the version of Debian by looking at the
/etc/debian_version file.
cat /etc/debian_version
That will say one of the following:

Yes. If it's not plugged in it does not turn on. Removing the power plug
at any point will cause it to shut off. I guess the general consensus is
that there is something wrong with the battery but I just wanted to make
sure. I'll get a new one and see if that works.

I've tried that already it doesn't seem to do anything. When I run the Dell
SETUP utility if the computer boots with the battery inside of it, the
"battery info" shows the battery is 100% charged. If I boot the computer up
with no battery inside of it the "battery info" says "no battery
installed

Is this a problem with the battery itself, or did I install something
