What do I do if my battery isn't charging?

my Mac is a OS X version 10.5.8. but I plugged it in and didn't go on it for a while and the battery percentage is still 0. and it says the battery isn't charging. but the light on the plug in us green and it is plugged into the wall. The only way I can get on it is if it is plugged in, but if it gets unplugged it shuts off and restarts every time. Some one please help. Do I need a new battery or something??? Please I'm desperate!

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

From Apple Support: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1519 Batteries have a limited amount of cycles before they are considered to be consumed. Once consumed, a replacement battery is recommended. This is because battery life and overall system performance can be greatly affected after a battery is consumed. Your battery has a maximum cycle count of 300.


You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.
