My T520 is beat to !&&* and it is two generations newer than yours. Its battery died two years ago. Your laptop needs a new battery.

I think your first step should be to buy a replacement battery as it sounds like your charger is still working.

Here is a link to the battery replacement guide:

And if anything else pops up, here is the link to the general troubleshooting page:
