I second what Andrew said below, there is no such thing as "battery calibration". Whatever app you downloaded to "calibrate" the battery could be causing your battery to drain even more. However, if you delete that app and are still having premature battery draining issues, its a good chance you have a defective battery.

I also agree with Andrew. I bought this battery and simply installed it and it has worked fine ever since (more than 3 months now). I went from about 6 hours per day of life to now about 12 under normal use.

According to research I did before purchasing my extended battery, the whole concept of "calibration" is complete BS... Motorola and Android engineers say, put in the new battery, fully discharge it, fully charge it, and you're good to go. That was certainly the case for me. If you're having problems with your battery and you've tried this "normal" cycle, in all probability you have a defective new battery. I could contact the seller for support.

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've had difficulty with this issue, too. I think the battery tester works most accurately by just letting the battery rest.

First try reattach in the lcd cable but if that doesn't work then when you buy a new lcd test it by plugging it in before install an and make the battery has a chargeSteven

I had the same problem and had to return the battery. I went and purchased a whole new unit. Careful if you order a battery because if you have to return it, Amazon doesn't let you because it is a hazardous item. I went through a lot trying to return it to the vendor. The one I received was also broken. Good luck.

Just make sure you don't remove the covering that allows it to stick to the battery and you can swap out batteries. You just have to make sure it's arranged right when putting the cover back on. It will make sense when you see it for yourself.

I just got this and have the same problem..... there are NO numbers on the screen to set anything with. I bought a new battery and installed that, but had the same results.... nothing

I just got the 16GB for Christmas. After reading all the battery posts, the first thing I did was charge it fully, then play it until the battery died. I got 20+ hours. I think a lot has to do with how often the screen is "lit". If you're constantly shuffling through, picking songs, adjusting volume etc. i think one would get less life than just playing it like I did (the screen was black most of the time since I wasn't adjusting anything). And of course, i would expect video or games to kill the battery even quicker. That would be a good test, play a video straight through and see the life. I don't have any videos loaded, so I can't really test that. I just got the 16GB for Christmas.

Mine never worked at all. My advice would be to do like I did: request a refund, then throw this battery in the garbage and spend a few bucks on an Anker or other decent brand. :-) Seriously, you may want to remove the battery while the computer is plugged in and see if it changes anything on the status display. If it changes, you know the battery is bad, if not, I would suspect a problem with the computer.

After I installed the new battery, it already had a charge (I don't remember how much) but it was sufficient to work for a day or so. Then I just put the phone on a charger and it worked fine. I noted that I actually got LONGER battery life from the replacement than I ever had with the original - but that's because it has more mAmp hour storage. So if your battery does not charge up after install, I suspect there may be another issue with the way it was put in.

My battery has been working fine. I am not sure what battery you're talking about. I used it for over 3 weeks and just had to recharge it today. I am guessing they are shipping with better batteries.

The last time I changed a battery, I had a similar response. But, given time it recovered and is now working properly. Maybe it's a capacitance issue.

Do the same thing a number of times. ... fill up and drain...mine works fine.... something may be switched on in the phone and is draining the battery..check your settings

I purchased the same battery LB1 High Performance Battery and after charging it for about 20 minutes, the light goes out on my computer,so something is wrong.It is not working like the factory battery did when it was new. Not satisfied here with the battery.

I checked with my daughter, since I bought it for her laptop and she's the one who installed it. She did not get that message, but did mention that the battery needs to be charged before it will work. I don't imagine it would charge, though, if it's "not detected", but maybe you could leave it on for a while and see. You can probably tell I'm not very "techy". We didn't know until after we bought the battery that the laptop would work perfectly well just plugged in, with the battery uninstalled. If I'd known that, I probably wouldn't have bought the battery at all. Sorry I can't be more help. I checked with my daughter, since I bought it for her laptop and she's the one who installed it.
