Latitude 610 batteries do not charge

I have a Latitude D610 since February this year with two batteries. In these 8 months three batteries were swapped under warranty because they caused the battery LED to blink alternatingly amber and green.
 
I started to suspect my docking station and that got swapped as well. Now both of my batteries refuse to get charged. I need to travel with my laptop tomorrow and don't have have a spare laptop around for charging my batteries. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
     
    If you dont't receive a incorrect adapter message at start up, it seems that you've got a motherboard problem in the battery charger circuit.
     
    P.S.: The adapter for the Dock Stations it's not the same for the C610, generally it's a 90W

    Dear Paul:

     

    I used the Juice adaptor from IGO and they sent me a new tip specifically designed for Latitude 610.  However, When using it I recieve the message that it is not recognized and, thereofre, the batteries will not charge.  Then it caused a corruption of Microsoft OS and I had to wipe my drive.  What prodcut do you recomend for connecting in planes (United) and automobiles?

    Thak you for your assitance.

    Hi,

    Try the one offered at Dell on-line or the one from APC at:

    http://www.apcc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=TPA90DC

    Manual (pdf) at:
    http://sturgeon.apcc.com/techref.nsf/partnum/990-1505A/$FILE/990-1505A-ML.pdf

    Hope it's ok for you.

    This one from APC works fine at D610
