  since you did not mention which product, I shall assume its a laptop/netbook..

  did you put in the battery correctly? perhaps it might be due to some faulty connectors of either the batt or the laptop/netbook..

  lastly, the battery could be faulty & needs replacing..

  here's a tip, when u're at home using ur lappy, always make it a point to remove the batt & plug in the a/c power..

  only when u're out then you make use of the lappy battery..

  If the battery does actually get charged, then the problem probably lies on your OS or the hardware being unable to detect battery.

  True, but with the correct usage, should last at least 2-5 years.

  To ts, sadly, it might be a case of a dying battery.

  Might not be the case too, since he mentioned he change the battery before and it happen again. Anyway need testing to confirm.

  I got a problem with this with my Acer laptop some time back too. 
  
  Apparently, I fixed it by unplugging my laptop from AC, shutting down, remove battery, hold power button for 5 sec, then reinsert battery and switch on.  YMMV.
