    I have Dell Vostro 1550. I am using windows 7 Ultimate. Now it is showing a cross icon on battery saying that "Consider replacing your battery"
    I have format & reinstall window, I have update drivers but still is the same problem, what should I do?

    Your battery either needs to be calibrated or it is nearing the end of its useful lifespan.

    What does a battery utility such as BatteryInfoView have to say about the battery? In particular how does the fully Charged Capacity compare with Design Capacity.

    Then check in the BIOS to see if there is a battery calibration option. If so, run it. Calibration involves fully charging the battery then discarging to empty (Windows shuts down at 3% charge remaining) and then fully recharging it so the battery chip.
