Windows 10: Battery Troubles

Hello!
i am experiencing some troubles with my battery, i have not looked to see if there is just no battery yet. I found this old computer its a XPS 12 running Core™️i5 Intel and its a ultrabook, if its plugged in, it works, as soon as it gets unplugged it dies. is this a no battery thing or is it a system thing? it came with windows 8 Pro but i got annoyed trying to use it so i updated it to windows 10 (no hate on windows 8 its just very complicated) but the same thing happened with windows 8, its very old, like. the screen burns.​

please help me with this,

Sincerely, Elliott

Laptop battery issue

I'm pretty sure the E1505 has "speed step" on it. Double checkthe speed step settings to make sure they are set for long battery life, maybe it's somehow reset itself?

New battery not charging

I suggested uninstall, not re-install.

There's an extended version of those instructions - the same idea, but some additional steps.
Shut down hte machine
Remove the battery - run on AC power only
Device Manager > Batteries
Uninstall Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery
Shut down the machine

Remove AC power
Wait 1 minte
Insert Battery
Connect AC power
Start the machine

Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery should be reinstalled when the machine is booting

But, the .3 volts might be significant - I agree with Kbird
