Hello LaurentiuDaniel and welcome to TSF,

Is this the original battery or a replacement?

Does the charge light come on when the power cord is plugged in and the computer is in the OFF state?

No it doesn't comes on when it's pluged in (it's an original dell battery) the battery it's fine, it charged twice hardley. the adaptor may be the problem because in bios it says that it won't recognize the ac adapter and it tels me to replace with an 65w adapter(wich is the one i am having) i will replace it these days an come back with a reply.:)
