Hi tinamackie1,
My name is Saharsh and I work for the Social Media and Community Team at Dell.
Please make sure that the battery that you have purchased is a Dell Certified Battery.
Please update the BIOS of the system from the below link after entering your service tag and selecting the current operating system.

Once the system restarts the issue shall be fixed for you.
