    I would assume a faulty battery, if you are still under warranty I would have it checked or replaced.

    I've seen a couple of dells that have battery issues after doing a BIOS update.
    Firstly bear in mind that updating the BIOS is dangerous and may brick your PC if theres an issue.

    First thing I would try is reflashing the latest BIOS again.
    If that doesnt work try one of the older ones
