Macbook battery no longer charges

My Macbook has recently entered a state where the battery no longer charges. Currently the battery is reporting 25% charge when not plugged in. When plugged in, the bar at the top reports (Not Charging), though as long as I keep it plugged in it runs without running down the battery.

This happened to me less than a month ago. It was my MagSafe adapter, not my battery that was failing. Try finding a spare adapter, or bring it into an Apple Store and test their adapters. Hopefully they'll replace it for you.

"Try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC), as described in this Apple KB article:

I will say, though, that the same situation has occurred to me in the past (twice, actually) and resetting the SMC didn't help -- I ended up having to replace the battery."
