ubuntu - Laptop dies when AC unplugged

I changed my battery, it worked for a day, then stopped doing so overnight.
Ubuntu says the laptop is fully charged, but when I unplug it from the wall it dies. My old battery works fine. What should I try?



  • My laptop: Lenovo T410


  • Battery led status indicator: blinking orange, not sure if "fast" or "quick". Meaning:



    Fast blinking orange: The battery has less than 5% charge. Note: The
    battery may be charging. Quick blinking orange: An error has been
    occurred in the battery.



  • Some info Ubuntu gives me. I noted with "old" when the old battery is inside.
