Did everyone try charging the unit while it is powered off?It seems to make a different to me. I bought three(3) and so far all battery seemed to be decently averaged out around 2.5 hours or so (mainly net surfing and video conferencing) after few months of usage. Power on while charging seems like charges don't hold too well even it shows 100% charged.Try it out...it may make some different.

Same thing here. Bought eeepc, loved it, took on trips, perfect. Sold it to son who now has problems with recharging it- maybe battery went altogether? Maybe problem with charger? Feel guilty that we sold him a bill of goods. What recourse?

I get less than 2 hours of use on a full charge (mainly using for internet browsing, email, and playing mp3). The battery also drains when it's not on. I have the 16 GB linux version with advanced desktop enabled. This seems to be common. I think most manufacturers exaggerate battery life a lot, if it's not a flat-out lie. So 2 hours or less of use unplugged with this device is probably the norm, if the manufacturer is saying 3 to 4 hours. My experience with most rechargeable mobile devices is that normal real world use will not get anywhere near what manufacturers state for battery life.

My battery did not charge properly from the beginning, but failed to contact company before warranty expired, which was my error. They sent a link for a replacement battery but the cost with shipping is over half the price of the unit. Since the unit did not charge ever charge properly, I am hesitant to throw good money after bad, with the "hope" that the battery is the only problem. The other brand I purchased at the time worked beautifully from the start and is still going strong. If anyone has a link for a replacement battery with reasonable shipping charges, I would be interested. Otherwise, will toss this and buy another brand that works from the start and continues working. Thank you.

You can still buy brand new replacement batteries for these for about $75. On a new battery, this machine will run 3-4 hours on a single charge. When the battery gets old, as in any laptop, it won't hold for more than a few minutes. But that has nothing to do with this particular model of computer. That is true of any computer and any rechargeable battery system. Depending on which one you get, you might get 30 minutes or 3 hours of batter life. It's impossible to know. Ask the seller. If the batter is less than a year old,you will get very good battery life out of it ... at least 2 hours. You can still buy brand new replacement batteries for these for about $75.

I have had this computer for approximately 14 months and my battery holds charge now for only about an hour to 90 minutes. I am having difficulty finding another one, can someone please tell me what replacement battery would work? thanks!

The external battery charger did not work with my battery, I ended up returning for a full refund. I have opted to just buy a new computer. Sorry I could not offer any assistance.

Really Bad Battery does not work :( It started with 2 hrs charge and then it dropped to 30 min in 1 day. I returned it they did a quick refund but was painful.

I would immediately send it back. It has to be defective. My two batteries work just fine. They take the charge and hold it until you are ready to use them. Sorry to hear you had trouble. These are hi-tech units and I do suppose that they are a little temperamental.

I would like to know myself..When my battery arrived it wasn't even charged...Charged it for over 24 hours before my screen would even come up, so I could log on! Then the battery went dead again! If I have to keep charging it for 24 hours, each time I need to use my laptop, my only alternative is to send it bk, request a refund and purchase from the store I bought from, before this! This product is anything but Superior Choice!!

Same problem here, my battery seems however not to charge at all. Did you find a solution/problem?thanks!

Probably an hour for a full charge. I finally had to replace my battery because it would not hold a charge. Pull yours out and see if it is bulged in the middle. If so it is bad.

There is normally a warranty of from 90 days to 1 year on the batteries. The question that will be asked to the owner is "Did he/she maintain the battery properly during that time. The proper maintenance is to let the battery drain all the way down at least once a month and then ensure that it is charged back to 100% before it is unplugged from the power outlet. Also, do not leave the battery in the computer if it is plugged into the power source on a 24/7 basis. Not doing either of these procedures will rapidly deplete the time usage of the battery.

Hmm, good question. I wonder if the connection to the battery is bad? Maybe it was connected for the first 14 hours and then got jarred loose somehow? I would probably take the battery out and put it back in, making sure that the contacts seem to be clean and touching. If that doesn't do anything, I would call a local battery store and see if they have any way of testing the battery to see if it is good. If there is nothing obvious wrong with the battery, I would probably call the company that installed the unit and see if they have any suggestions. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Try throwing it in the freezer overnight. Then thy re charging. If it still holds no charge. I would return it seller. It probably is defective cell/battery.

Typical charge time from fully drained is about 3 hours. If it doesn't clear during that time, the battery is bad. I ordered 2 of these, both had old manufacturing dates, so they are most likely used and were pulled from recycled units. I powered down both servers (2x 2950), installed both batteries, powered up the servers and the ROMB errors were instantly cleared.

This battery failed within 30 days. I didn't know who to talk with to request a new battery or my money back. I have only been able to operate my computer plugged, in since that time. Can you help me, at this late date, and supply me with a good battery? Mary Ann Fortier
