My Gateway Laptop New Battery Pack?

I just got a new laptop battery pack for christmas and I'm having issues charging it fully. I put it in my computer and hooked the AC adapter up to my laptop and into an outlet. Usually when the battery is full the light in the front will turn blue but it's been purple for a couple days now that I've had it plugged in. I turned my computer on and unless I have the AC adapter hooked up my laptop wont turn on. The battery indicated on my computer shows 8% full. It's been like this for the two days now. I dont know how to get the battery pack to charge correctly. Are there any setting on my computer or anything special I have to do in order for it to charge the right way? If it helps, on the first day I turned it on it charged up to 6% and showed me how long it would take to fully charge, when I turned it on the second time it was 8% and the time it would take no longer appeared.

Answer:

Sounds like the pin/blades which connect to the battery in the battery bay could be bent, thus not charging. Else the charging unit needs to be replaced.
i shouldnt see why no longer purely be able twine conected to the computing device and turn it on yet to be on the risk-free component wait 5 seconds in the previous turning directly to make advantageous the flexibility can charge has had time to kick in and make sue its the ultimate charger for that computing device
Could be the battery thats damaged but it sort of seems like the charger is more at fault. The charger doesnt look like its properly charging the laptop battery. I would suggest you look into getting a new charger as soon as possible. Make sure you get one from a reliable source instead of a cheap knock off on like OKorder or something. I would personally suggest you visit topmic charger. They are very reputable and have great service. They include free shipping, 30 days money back guarantee, and free lifetime warranty so if the charger ever stops working, they would replace it at no additional cost, for life. If you have any more questions feel free to send me a message and ill be happy to help!
