Dell battery light flashing query

G'day folks,

Have a question for you. Last night I had my laptop connected up to the ECM of my car (for diagnostics purposes) and went for a drive with it connected to the ECM. No Problem. Got back from the trip and the battery was down to 4% so I promptly shut it down (after turning the car off).

I plugged the charger in and the battery is back up to 100% but for some reason the orange flashing battery light on the laptop keeps flashing. I have taken the power pack out and the battery is ok, works as per normal.

Anyone else had this 'flashing light' issue before?

Cheers

Fluff

Usually, when the light flashes orange like that constantly, the battery is reaching the end of its usable lifespan.

I have similar problem and was advised that battery should be replaced.
