Battery Problems! plz help!

[Thinkerpad]

i have a IBM thinkpad 770Z 9549-81U and its battery will not charge. the adapter is fine and i just replaced the battery but still no luck. the indicator on the laptop always flashes "0%" but when i pull out the battery the indicator shuts off so i know that the computer is recognizing
the battery. do you think i should get an external charger?

Sounds like you got dud, being new has nothing to do with it, bad eggs happen man, If you have the reciet get a replacement, and if the same thing happens, then you have some problems, if your good enough, you may be able to salvage all the battery parts of a junk motherboard, get a test light, and make sure everything works right, I am pretty sure the battery is just a dud, but if not, just replace the motherboard for $70
if you don't know how, you can send it to me, and i'll help you out for free,
I built a few thinkpads, and a dell.
