New Dell laptop battery flashing orange and white.

My daugher needed a new battery for her Dell laptop. I purchased a new Dell battery and charged it all night. It worked good for a day, than the battery symbol started flashing orange 3 times than one white flash. It repeats this sequence even when plugged in now.It seems to hold its charge for the day at school but the orange and white flashes are still there. Is this a faulty battery?

have you contacted dell support to get a replacement battery?

I bought it from CDS Micro Systems in Pennsylvania, waiting for an answer.

well last i checked you have a service tag on the machine for tech support with dell but wait to hear from them and if they can't ring up and tell dell your tag and should be able to arrange something.
