Laptop problem, help!

[Arsenalftw]

For some strange reason, my laptop isn't being charged. It says that the battery is:

0% avaliable (plugged in, not charging)

So this causes random shut downs due to lack of power in the laptop, but the charger is connected!

I've tried this with several battery charges, with higher volts, and the problem still presists. Help is needed!

and then the model of the Battery?

for the Charger look on the Wall wart's label and look for something that says "Output:"
