Paul Just a word of warning...
My last work laptop was a Dell D620 which experienced what sounds like identical charging problems to yours, but in that case I borrowed a known good working battery from a colleague and found that it too would not recharge - the only conclusion therefore was a fault on the motherboard or charging circuit. Unfortunately, unless the battery has charge status LEDs on it, there's probably little else you can do but try a new one... good luck with that anyway.
