I have a mid-2009 15 inch macbook pro. When my macbook is plugged in, it says "Battery Not Charging" in the battery indicator. I replaced the battery and the magsafe adapter and it's still the same... I did a PRAM reset and a SMC reset and nothing...

Any ideas?

PRAM/NVRAM has nothing to do with battery/power/charging issues. Resetting it will not help. Only resetting the SMC addresses such issues. Try the troubleshooting MagSafe link in the CHARGING section of the following link. This should answer most, if not all, of your battery questions:

I tried all that.. still doesn't do anything. My battery charges, but VERY VERY slowly, it takes at least a day or two for it to fully charge then my battery dies after a couple hours of use.

Have you calibrated it?
