Latitude E6430 battery bad & Keyboard not working

So this is the laptop I have an E6430. The battery is not that good and needs to be replaced. At times with this battery in the keyboard does not work. If I take out the battery and then put it back in and restart it then the keyboard works. Does this seem normal? Could a bad battery affect how the keyboard reacts.

Hi FORJONNY,

Yes, a bad battery can affect other hardware in the  computer. Does the keyboard work if you remove the  battery and just plug in the Power Adapter?

FORJONNY,

You will need to replace the battery in the system. You can contact Dell Spare Parts to purchase batteries; or search the internet if you choose too.
