I have a Dell Inspiron 5000. With that, I have a Dell Inspiron 5000 Battery. Lately, I've noticed that the battery quickly drains when the system is solely using battery power. We're talking 5 - 10 minutes of power max, here. It hasn't gradually settled into this time frame. I barely ever use the battery, and last week it was getting far more time on the battery (45 mins +).

I took out the battery (the system claims it's fully charged), and hit the test button. 3 of the 5 LED's light up. They blink three times, and then turn off. (See attached photo..)

Does anyone know what I have to do to get this battery working again? Is it dead?

Thanks..
