Don't worry; it's perfectly normal.
Dell INSPIRON E1505 Battery is shipped in a discharged condition and must be charged before use, Generally recommend an overnight charge (approximately twelve hours). Rechargeable Dell INSPIRON E1505 Battery should be cycled - fully charged and then fully discharged - 2 to 4 times initially to allow them to reach their full capacity. it is perfectly normal for a battery to become warm to the touch during charging and discharging.
New INSPIRON E1505 Battery ishard for your device to charge; they have never been fully charged and are therefore "unformed". Sometimes your device's charger will stop charging a new battery before it is fully charged. If this happens, simply remove the battery from your device and then re-insert it. The charge cycle should begin again. This may happen several times during your first battery charge. -

1. It seems that your AC adapter is fried and you need a new one. I think you should try to find out if your problem could be solved under the extended warranty on Dell’s XPS M1330 range. I know they extended it by 12 months but limited to problems related to NVIDIA cards. Presumably, overheating that killed your AC adapter can be related to the nvidia card problem. I’m still looking for the official DELL stance on that. Just be warned that you need to know your facts before calling DELL support. Also, another reason for you to know about the extended warranty is that a dead AC adapter possibly can be not the last of your problems (a fried motherboard is). My AC adapter died a couple of months before the whole thing died.
2. When the AC adapter is unplugged and a percentage of battery is lost, the dell xps m1330 battery will not recharge once the adapter is plugged in again.
Try to fully discharge the dell xps m1330 9-cell battery, and then plug the battery into the AC adapter.
go to shop buy a new battery:

Eiko Carol asked a question in Dell on October 27, 2009 04:08:
DELL XPS M1330 not charging batteryThank you DELL for this little troublemaker. After I had to fix my harddisk driver problems finally by replacing it with a new one (the original one runs in external case just fine), I am now having trouble with the charger. One morning I plugged it in coz the battery was running low but nothing happened. Well, it did not die on me, but battery did not charge anymore. At the next start of the computer I got the message that the power adapter is not recognized and will not charge the battery. Awesome. Reading some different posts I get the options of a dieing motherboard or a broken poweradapter. Mh. No warranty. Easy choice would it be mine.
So, ran into one of these small DELL stands in Sydney and asked them if I could quickly plug my laptop into one of their demo laptops adapter. Started. Battery charges. Happy to not to have to replace the MB. But than you don’t find the suitable adapters on ebay (the connector is not round but a bloody hexagon). At the end ordered with DELL for AU$110.
I like this little machine, but now understand why DELL refuses to give them proper warranties and support. That puts a slight dent into my trust to them as I actually bought it to have something rock solid. Maybe I do buy a MacBook next time... -

Eiko Carol replied on August 13, 2009 03:45 to the question "dell latitude 820 battery problem" in Dell:
try to replace BIOS battery, which you know was dead, because all settings get reset when you unplug the power and remove main battery. You might not have to replace it if its still good. Back to the main battery problem, You have a good change of solving this by going into BIOS, and under Tools there is a Battery Calibration option. Do the calibration for the main battery and-or other optional batteries attach and it will most likely solve the problems. This calibration process will take a long time; 1-charge, 2-discharge, 3-recharge, so leave it over night or however.
There was a mention of updating BIOS. This could solve the problem too, because BIOS controls the charging unit. Also, make sure you have Dell Power Management install on your OS, (download at dell.com).
One note: The dell latitude 820 battery will not charge if the battery is about 93% or higher. 93 is not exact, but close to 90%. so test by discharging to below 90% and it will start charging again.
If anyone tries this, leave a post of your success or failure.
