From what I've read, this is a very common battery issue and I was also in the same situation with my laptop. Fortunately, I've fixed it very easily... I don't know when I disabled something from the driver's software.

Before adapting this solution you have to check the Laptop working in AC power without Battery to confirm the power adapter is working. If it is then, unplug the adapter and use battery mode for some time and check the Battery Icon status changing. If it is working then try the above solution.
