Dell Latitude D610 battery not charging.

A month ago or so, my battery stopped charging, and would only run off of the adaptor. There is a light by the hd light that shows when the battery is charging.

Very rarely, when I restart my computer, I'll notice the battery charging light comes on and it will charge, and once charged, I can run it off of the battery. Then out of the blue it will go off and it wont charge anymore.

The problem seems really random. I just wondered if there's anyway I'm accidently turning off the battery charger, or if anyone may know what the problem might be.

Thanks.
 
When you run it off battery, how long does it run? Or if it only charges a bit, how much will it charge? If it's not holding a charge, it's probably about time for the cells to give out. If it does hold a charge, maybe there's a short somewhere? Is anything hot near the plug? Do you have access to another AC Adapter? Perhaps it's not putting out enough amps to power the laptop and charge it?
 
My dad had a similar problems and I think it was a two prongs in the battery touching and shorting out
