It means that the EC can talk to the battery and is trying to charge the 
battery but no current is flowing into the battery.

So either:

1) the XO charging system is not working right
2) something in your battery is funky.

There are some other non-hardware things we could try but they require 
you to get a developer key.

Hardware wise you can try to charge the battery manually but you need to 
be familiar with electronics or have a friend who is.
