Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.
Depending on the age of your particular DC44, the battery will be held in place either by a round silver clip, or fixed in place by two screws.
If you have the version with the clip, simply pressing this will allow
the battery to be removed and replaced. The new battery will clip into place.
If you have the version with the screws, you would need to undo these to remove the battery. One screw is above the charger connection on the handgrip, and the other is behind the washable pre-filter. To access the screw behind the pre-filter, please follow the steps to remove the filter shown in our filter washing video guide:

The wall adapter may be bad or the battery inside your dyson could be bad, do you know someone that has experience with a VOM? They could tell you which part is wonky.
The battery falls slightly loose, so you have to fasten it securely to the body of the vacuum. I learned this from another user here on Fixya. He uses electric tape. I used one of those rubber bracelets that kids wear. Worked perfectly!
