Does the battery need replacing when...

On a inspiron 9100, when I press the button on battery and none of the leds on battery illuminate?

    Is this the same for ALL batteries?

    That means it has no charge.  Press, hold it for a few seconds, then the number of lights that come on indicate the percentage of bad cells.

    Thanks Rick for the quick reply.  When I hold down the status button, no leds light up.  The strange thing is I was running a virus scan on my son's computer and the battery indicator in the system tray said 33% remaining, and then it promptly shut off. No warning or anything.  The only recent change to the computer is the installation of NIS 2007.
