Seems like the issue. could be with power relay/controller. Since it doesn’t deliver any current to battery, then it is most likely a faulty battery connector or somewhere in-between relay and connector an open end. (Assuming from the fact that AC still delivers power and your laptop runs just fine on AC alone.)

i have been trying to search for a solution google and seen a big amount of people have the same problem( some cases go as back as 2006), so a problem with the plug of motherboard would be likely, i will see if i can pry the laptop open to examine for any visible damage.
