Sounds like something hardware related, the laptop could be drawing more current that it supposed to, therefore not enough being supplied to charge the battery.
I would use a multimeter to measure total charge being drawn when on / off and charging and with / without battery and compare to what it is supposed to be drawing. Anything way off could be a hardware fault, if its normal then perhaps the battery is at fault.0 -
It could be a hardware fault with the battery, of course. I've known the chip embedded in the battery to get cooked and mistakenly engage charge protection, but modern laptop batteries are a horror to diagnose yourself!0
