no idea, sounds like a bad cell, it should still be under warranty if you have the receipt. My other 9 cell lasted 4 years

I had mine sitting idle for about 6 months and then checked it and it was around a 50% charge. It didn't go dead or anything. And charging it took a couple hours if i remember right. But that was several years ago.

For me, it didn't last long. I let the battery that I bought for a 24 hour charge before using the laptop without it being pligged in the charger. It had at least a good 6 hours before battery needed to ne charged again. So I turned off my laptop and waited for it to charge. Then the next day, battery didn't work anymore as it would only hold maximum charge of 13%.

I actually went to Microsoft website itself and posed this same question. They didn't really seem to know much about it either. From what I understand is that it does not stop charging, yes allowing the opportunity for over charging damaging the overall life span of the rechargeable battery itself? Again, the specialist seemed to not be too clear or seemed to not know and guessed that it didn't stop charging. This leaves the possibility that it does "auto" stop charging once the batteries are fully charged.

I had the same issue with the replacement battery. It stopped working after about 3 months. I complained to amazon and got my money back.

Usually it is the battery. Take a battery you know is still chargeable and see if it recharges.

If charging circuit is non-operational, the old battery may be OK. try returning the battery and request replacement. if charging problem still exists, the charging circuit may be the culprit.

You might want to check your battery charger and see if that's the cause..or you might need to charge it. If the battery does not want to function after trying many things to charge I believe it comes with a warranty.

Is it possible the battery is not charged? The instructions suggest it is necessary to discharge fully then recharge. It may be it came discharged, and must be on charge to be recognized, I bought an inexpensive battery and it lasted about three days, then began indicating it should be replaced. The only other possibility would be an incorrect battery? Best regards, Sammy

battery is shot. it has a memory when charged too often without dishcharging completely. battery is shot.

I've read that these sometimes have a break-in period and that the charging indication corrects itself after a few days of use. I'd try charging it up and using it and recharging it a few times to see if that helps. Only "problem" is that the charge lasts a long long time! Good luck.

I had similar experience. Try ordering a new AC adapter cord too. My battery now holds the full charge and its been 2 months and its still okay.

It is most likely a dead battery. How old is it? Was it ever left charging for a long time? Did it get left out in the cold? Was it topped off every month or so during the winter?

i belive, you did everything correctly. It is something worng to the battery. Try to recharge again, just charge it whole night and try again. If problem is not resolved, just send it back, if its possible

Sounds faulty to me. It has been a while since I bought my replacement battery and cannot recall if I had to charge it prior to use. All I know is that mine works great. Never have had a problem.

I had this phone for 3 months and then it stopped charging out of nowhere. Not sure if it was a battery issue or hardware problem. I was so upset because I was enjoying the phone.

Sorry, I have never had that problem with mine.. Mine holds it's charge for a long time.
