if that doesn't work try this
1. Click Start and type device in the search field, then select Device Manager .
2. Expand the Batteries category.
3. Under the Batteries category, right-click the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery listing, and select Uninstall .
WARNING: Do not remove the Microsoft AC Adapter driver or any other ACPI compliant driver.
4. On the Device Manager taskbar, click Scan for hardware changes .
Alternately, select Action > Scan for hardware changes .
Windows will scan your computer for hardware that doesn't have drivers installed, and will install the drivers needed to manage your battery's power. The notebook should now indicate that the battery is charging.

maybe not....but if the two things i mentioned don't work then yes you do need a new battery.
the second recommendation i gave will allow you to reinstall the battery driver...if it gets corrupted your laptop won't charge it.
It's all good..I just run up on this issue most days out in the field..The charger starts to go south or the user keeps the charger plugged in all the time..Really hard on a battery to be in constant charge mode..It's good to charge em up and run them down..

I purchased and installed a replacement battery for our 2012 HP laptop, but it wasn't charging. After reading your possible solutions, I tried the 1st one and it worked!
I unplugged the power, removed the battery, held down the power button for 60 seconds then reassembled all. I powered the laptop on and the battery is now accepting a charge! I will also try the old battery again to see if this may have resolved the non charging issue I had with it as well. THANK YOU, Brenda A.

If it is a new battery,take the tips below:
1. Try to use other power adapter to change. Tried this - made no difference
2. Update the bios, input your laptop sn series number at Dell Offical website, get the right version. Tried this , made no difference
3. Set the hardware automatic identification port. Tried this made no difference
4. Set the power management of your laptop: Property -> Screen Saver -> power -> Power scheme -> Portable / Laptop -> please cancel about low battery alarm and serious shortage of battery alarm when use the battery. done this - makes no difference - it is not a problem with the low battery alarm, but rather that the battery will no longer hold any charge - it is stuck on 9% charge rate and no matter how long you leave it plugged in to charge, it never, ever charges - so always now stays at 9% or drops
5. Take out the battery from laptop, and put it back again, repeat several times. Make sure that it isn't a poor contact problem between battery and laptop. Done this makes no difference
6. When equipment for the first time to recharge the battery, the instability of the voltage and current may cause the battery charge to 50% (sometimes more, sometimes less), and equipment stop charging the battery.the laptop was used under stable voltage and current conditions; the first time it was used it was charged up to 100% and it worked no problem; it was soon after this that it stopped charging and would not hold the charge anymore.
If your laptop battery used for years,maybe you need get a new battery.
