@Aaron951 , welcome to the forum.

 

If you haven't done so, you should run the battery diagnostics to see if it has failed.  See the "Test your battery" section in the link that I provided for help.

Thank you for the additional information, @Aaron951!  It sounds like you have a failed battery if the diagnostics doesn't run.

@Aaron951, if you provide the full model of your laptop I will help you find the price of the battery.  It would be much less expensive to buy a new battery.
