>>>A generic question - right now I'm using power unit. Should the battery re-charge when I'm using it? Say, last night it went down to 7% (as I was not using power unit) and I don't see it's going up at all today (it still shows very low on the icon).

>>It should recharge whether the computer is on or off.

>>Does your battery indicator in the system tray show that it is plugged in?

>This is how it looks now - see attached picture.
It sure looks like it thinks it is plugged in. You could have a bad charger or battery.
