Dell Inspiron B130 Battery Problem
Recently got this new battery for my laptop. Has been working fine until a couple of weeks ago. It says that my battery is charging, but it always stays at 12%. It doesn't seem to charge passed that. I have waited hours for any sign of change but stays at 12%. Anyone know how I can fix this?

Sounds like the cells in the battery went bad. Try to turn on your laptop with just the ac adaptor hooked up and your battery out off the laptop to make sure that your ac adaptor is working properly. If you can boot up into windows with just the ac adaptor hooked up then you know your ac adaptor is good.
If you get that far then try a different battery and see if the laptop charges with another known good battery. If it does then you know your original battery is bad. If it doesn't charge your different known good battery then you know the motherboard is bad. Hope this helps.
