Как избавиться от «Warning: The Battery cannot be identified»
Захандрил у меня, на днях, один из моих ноутов (точнее Dell 1501).. Ни с того, ни с сего, после BIOS-информации, на экране стала появляться надпись «Warning: The Battery cannot be identified. This system will be unable to charge this battery.» и предложение нажать на клавиши.
Собственно, нажатие на клавиатуру никаких действий не принесло, кроме как продолжение загрузки ноутбука. Как ни крути, но постоянная выдача на экран «Warning: The Battery cannot be identified..» совсем не воодухотворяла.
Все решилось обновлением BIOS до версии 2.6.3 (взять отсюда).
Само обновление можно произвести из Windows. После обновления потребуется перезагрузка Dell 1501.
Dell battery cannot be identified
This message is most common in the Inspiron line of Dell laptops, with the most error reports from the inspiron 1501, inspiron 3521, inspiron 5521 but other Dell users have also reported it on other laptops too.
Its frustrating, when the dell laptop doesn’t recognize its own battery. Especially when its the original battery.
It doesn’t make sense.
There are a couple of ways to fix this, depending on what exactly the problem is. Usually its either the battery, the charger, Dell Bios configurations or if you are lucky the laptop temporarily not reading the charger chip.
The following solutions apply to any Dell laptop be it a Vostro, a latitude or an inspiron.
Faulty battery cannot be identified
If the issue is the battery you can purchase a Dell battery here for cheap or get it from Amazon. Make sure you search the exact battery of your laptop model otherwise you end causing yourself more.
If you have someone with the same model you can test the battery to see if the issue is with the battery. Swap the batteries and boot the laptop and see if it still says battery cannot be identified. If the error message is gone then you definitely know for sure that you need a battery replacement.
Order one on the above link and replace the faulty battery.
Flea power or hard shutdown
Another solution would be to do a flea power drain.
Whatever the tech people will call it, releasing flea power, doing a hard shutdown or forced shutdown does fix a variety of issues.
Basically what you do is, press and hold the power for about 15 seconds and then you reboot the computer.
I would recommend first disconnecting the AC adapter battery charger, removing the battery. Then press and hold the power button for the 15 seconds.
What this does is, it drains the residual power that remains on the motherboard even when the computer is switched off and disconnected from a power source.
After that connect the battery charger and see if the computer recognizes the charger and the laptop is able to boot from the charger alone.
Battery Charger fix
Now this is important.
If your battery charger is deformed, or frayed or chipped like any shown on the above pictures simple buy another one.
They are cheap. Less than 20 bucks. That’s not something to think about get one here.
Its not worth the risk.
A chipped charger head may end up costing your motherboard. Giving you eve more headaches and costing you more money than if you had bought a proper charger.
Battery chargers may also trigger the error messages and not charge the laptop. I also wrote about that earlier on what to do if the laptop is plugged but not charging
Dell chargers have a chip the laptops uses to identify if the battery is a genuine Dell battery for that model. So if the chip goes bad then its no longer identified. That is why you get errors messages like the above if you buy chargers from dubious places.
Again if you have access to another charger of the same model, swap them. Then check and see if that solve the solves the issue.
Dell BIOS update
Another option for the bit technical, a BIOS update can also fix the issue and make you laptop recognize the battery.
Wait, how do you update the BIOS if the laptop doesn’t recognize the battery? Well, you have to use the commandline. Dell laptop wont update the BIOS if the battery is not recognized. This is to prevent you from bricking you laptop. If you lose power in the middle of updating the BIOS you can serious damage you computer.
However through the command line you can force a BIOS update. Here is an article about updating the BIOS.
To force the BIOS update without the battery, press the F1 key to continue when the battery not recognized error message appears.
Use another computer with access to the internet to download the latest version of your BIOS. To make sure you download the proper BIOS update use your Dell service tag to identify you laptop.
If you have managed to get another battery which is charged above 20%, Install the BIOS file you download. To install right click on the file and Run as Administrator the follow the prompts to install.
If you need to force install the BIOS without the battery charging you do the following.
- Copy the file you download directory you can easily type to avoid typing mistake
- Run command prompt in administrative mode
- type the name of the file eg E840A12.exe then add /forceit after the end. It should look like E840A12.exe /forceit (replace the file name with the name of your BIOS file you downloaded.
- Wait for update to install.
- After update is done reboot the laptop and see if the battery is now identified and charging
Final Note
So if the system will not charge the battery because it cannot identified check
- Battery if it needs to be replaced
- AC adapter charger
- Flea power, drain
- update the BIOS
Hopeful its not a motherboard issue as its beyond the scope of this article.
If you were able to solve the issue please leave a comment below and share what worked for you as this might be beneficial to someone else having the same headache

If this You may need either a new power supply or a new motherboard. Eventually the power supply does stop working. Hope you still have warranty -I’m on my 3rd powersupply and second motherboard (E1705) for similar issues.
Hard shutdown worked for me. Dell Inspiron 1764, error message after replacing power input receptacle.

Вообщем проблема такая (ею весь интернет пестрит). У ноутбуков делл через некоторое время вылазит сообщение после POST, что не могу определить ЗУ и/или аккумулятор.
Warning: The battery cannot be identified.
This system will be unable to charge this battery.
Warning: The AC adapter type cannot be determined.
This will prevent optimal system perfomance.
У меня обе надписи И соответственно ноут работает тока от ЗУ. Вообщем я излазил весь инет — все визжат и дальше никуда дело не идет. Саппорт советует менять АКУ и/или ЗУ и/или мать )))) Вообщем зарабатываютс ))))
Но я таки докопался до истины — почему так происходит. Вообщем и в ЗУ, и В АКУ стоят ДАЛЛАС чипы — по типу домофонных, по ним БИОС определяет родной это АКУ или ЗУ — и если нет — то вот такая весчь выскакивает! Чипы эти летят с завидным постоянством — программатор для них стоит как ноутбук! А на саппорте — купите новую детальку — и все — респект!
Вообщем — одна у меня теперь мысля — как спасти народ от власти буржуев. Защита эта в биосе (я особо не секу — но через Phoenix BIOS Editor и Hiew посмотрел — есть строки с сообщениями этими))))) (мож и лох я — но не вините — эта у меня последняя надежда).
