I just bought a new 6 cell Lenovo battery for my Ideapad. But it doesn't seem to get chraged. It's been an hour but there is no change in charge percentage. Is it normal for a new battery. At first I thought it must be an OS issue but the problem is same with both Linux and Windows.
Here's the image:
And this is what I get when I unplug the charger's cord:
What could possibly be the issue with a brand new Lenovo battery. I couldn't find any solution in battery replacement 101 guides. What if me using the laptop while the battery is getting charged for the first time is the issue? Should I just shut it down and wait for 5 to 10 hrs?

1Did you buy an OEM battery or a 3rd party battery? – New-To-IT – 2014-12-09T17:17:55.697
Of course an OEM battery. – Mohi – 2014-12-09T17:19:05.373
Never mind. The problem has been solved. But thanks a lot for your quick response. – Mohi – 2014-12-09T17:32:26.870
Glad you got it solved! – New-To-IT – 2014-12-09T17:33:14.337
Probably, it is a drained battery and unfortunately you got that one. You must go for a replacement. You can plug the power adapter and use your laptop. But not recommended one. If you main power goes off then you will have abrupt shutdown of your laptop. – vembutech – 2014-12-09T17:33:51.770
