I got a DELL D505 battery and when in the laptop the light for the battery charging indicator flashes 4 times red and 1 time green.

When I take the battery out and I press the button next to the 5 leds only the first, third and fifth led start flashing. What is going on?

If only the first, third, and fifth led lights up, it's an indication that the battery is defective and should be replaced. It's a status message.

These are some form of warning or status message.

You need to find a reference/support doc for this particular battery that tells you want this particular sequence means - I'm having a search now for you, but I'm going out shortly so if someone else finds one please stick up an answer!
