First press Unseal button and after Clear Errors button.

That's it. Do this and paste screenshot with the results after.

It's impossible that the battery is charging with these parameters.

Some dataflash values are corrupted DESIGN CAPACITY = 0.

Also Charging Voltage & Charging Current =0.

Its typical for many Dell batteries in locked state. Actually DF is Ok, only RAM is confused. After clearing error DC is recovered to factory DF value.

Yes it's true that Dell batteries with PF most values go to 0. But I have never seen DC also to be 0, usually only dynamic parameters. Also I saw on the screenshot that he unsealed the chip and cleared errors.

FCC was 0 before after PF clear it's 5403.

Also Max Error has become 100% from 0, RSOC & ASOC have changed.

That's why I think that DF is corrupted since DC is still 0.

Not all error still cleared.

Manufacture Access 0xA90A means chip is in Current Overload state. Quite annoying error on Dell batteries. In many cases cant be cleared by sending PF_Clear command. On some batteries it was possible to clear it by only disconnecting all the cells from the PCB and letting it powered Off for 30min to let the all capacitors to self-discharge thus fully clearing RAM registers.

As soon as the chip is Locked, Charging Tab cannot perform a charging.

Check these:

- Is thermal fuse fine ?

- Have you connected the System Present pin ?
