Ive been having the same problem with mine dying as soon as its off the charger!
208806
I have the exact same problem. I have not purchased a new battery yet but in my case I am 99% sure I must have received a defective battery with the purchase of the radio. But I don't currently need it as a mobile radio.

call midland they gave me a new battery within a couple days! great service!
208808
I never could get the battery to take a charge! Someone suggested sending it back to Midland for a replacement.

My battery was dead when it arrived. I contacted Midland and they sent me a new battery. Given that these are not lithium-ion batteries they will continue to die out pretty quick. I'm rather disappointed by that.

I called Midland Radio with same problem. I had two new batteries (bought a pair of radios) seven days later at no cost. Their customer service was first-rate.

Agreed with Keith's answer, I charge both the original and this one in the standard charger. Just swap them out when I get home after taking shots. Great backup for the price.

Same EXACT problem. It appears to be the dude itself not charging? I'm going to try to change remote battery tomorrow, but dint think that's oyr problem. Will report back.

Hi Gregory! I just asked the question of the best "proven" way to charge these batts and I'm convinced by the majority of answers is to use the USB end and keep the mAh's the same 1 thru 5, of course. It will take longer, but successful all around, as many have said and I tend to agree. Some have used, me included, a 3.7V wall charger, but I don't feel any longer. I hope that this helps and puts your mind at ease as it does mine!&#128522;

I too leave mine plugged in. However, when I have left it out for a little while, always charges right back up. I don't see how the battery can be replaced. I have had mine several years now and cannot complain at all about how it works.

Dead battery? Get a jump! haha Seriously now.Are you sure its the battery? Does it work when its plugged in? As soon as you unplug,does it stop working? If that's the case,I'd take it in to a computer shop to get looked at.Is it still under warranty,& if that's the case,send it in.I haven't looked at my own manual,but can you change the battery yourself? I'd see if I could do it first myself,instead of paying omeone for something you might be able to do yourself.

I would recommend you contact the seller. They are really quick at replying. Great battery but I followed the charging instructions to a tee.

You must use good batteries. I've been using Energizer. Also, it may not give you a fuller battery if the batteries are not new, but you should be able to use your device while it's plugged into the backup.

I got the camera and plugged it into the wall using the charger and hours later have no charge at all on the device. did i do something wrong? Is the battery dead? It beeps 3 times and then nothing.

Buying a battery might be a cheap fix. Make sure the charging unit is plugged in and it lights up when the unit is placed in the charger. If the unit is new, send it back.

Recharge it before it goes dead. It has an led light indicator where you can check the battery charge.

The battery may be dead. How long have you had it? Generally when a battery dies, it doesn't just completely stop working - it'll deplete faster than normal or have inconsistent durations. I imagine your only options would be to try a new cable first and if that doesn't work, try letting it charge overnight and see if it picks up a charge. Last resort would be to reflash the firmware and hope for the best, but please make sure that you are flashing the correct firmware if you do choose that route, as it can damage the device if it's the wrong file.

Fortunately I have not had this problem. I would suggest attaching it to the charger one more time to see if you can get it to charge. Otherwise I would return it for an exchange. I bought an extra battery and have had no problems with the charging of either one.

Is it not charging? I got the socket replaced, where you plug the charger in, and now it works fine. Plus I'm better about draining the battery completely before charging. I think they don't sell batts because it void the warranty if you open the case. I did order a replacement, though, from Screen Surgeons in Tucson, AZ. Got it in 3-4 days....

I'm afraid I can't help you as this was purchased for a friend who's battery died. The charger was used over night then unplugged.
