Overheats? I think P.Doell has the best answer. It is hard to get the battery in correctly, but I've had no problems with heating.

I have had the display for about 3 years, and I have just had to replace the battery. It is difficult to install correctly, as you have to be very careful that the battery slips by the side contact and goes all the way to the bottom of the "cylinder" it is installed in. It is easy to hook the side contact on the battery as you are installing it. If you force it, the side contact may bend flat against the bottom contact and short the battery. Make sure the battery is all the way down at the bottom, before installing the battery cover. The battery cover has an unusually long hollow post to hold the battery in place, but if the battery in not all the way at the bottom, the post may push it down and bend the contacts.

Hello,, As to me, I purchased this item twice. My experience has been negative. It is of a poor quality as a whole. If it is possible just return it for refund.

I suspect that the battery could be an issue. If the new batter does not cure the problem, make sure the new battery is full of power. If it is, you might consider securing a replacement unit. Especially if you are still under warranty. Hope this helps.

I would say have them send you another one first and return the old one. It may just be a defective item that you received. It happens from time to time. I wouldn't waste my money on a new battery if it came that way.

Hey Doug, Are you sure it's the ID same number on the new battery and is the battery is a Lithium rechargable. My battery says PBR 55D,3.7 VH, 1000 mAh rechargeable Lithium, the serial number is DC100715UD8. If it's the same then I think it's your power converter and maybe the recharge cord not fitting properly. My battery last about 2-3 days with normal activity like maybe 15-20 text per day, I'm hearing Impaired and use my phone for TEXTING ONLY,check the power cord and the connection, That all I can think of, Good Luck. E-mail me if you want joelted@comcast.net Joel

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.

I haven't had that happen, maybe try removing & then replacing the battery & see if that fixes it. Hope that helps.

I have had the same problem. I brought it to best Buy and they said I probably need a new battery, but they dont sell them. You have to purchase directly from the manufacturer. Havent done it yet, but I am about to now

Yes, I took it apart and found a new battery online. The tricky part was getting the rubber bumpers off so I could get all the screws out. BTW, the B&D people told me it couldn't be done.

That just happened today on my phone (i have the Marbl). It went like that the whole day. I was like "WTF?" But then I did what S. Thompson said, which was taking out the battery and putting it back in, and it worked.

I purchased a replacement battery and they have changed the battery posts - so it is not easy. I had to solder the new battery in place.The new battery has slip on posts and the old one was attached with a small screw and nut. Bah Humbug....

I have had the same problem. It seems the only solution is to remove the battery when not in use.

Contact the seller. I've had this battery for 2 or 3 years and have not had this issue.

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

yea, stick a tiny piece of folded paper or very thin cardboard under the clip that holds the battery down without obstructing the connection for power, and it wont do it anymore. It's just the battery getting knocked around.

I had the same problem. The insulation on the wiring did not keep it cool causing it to melt then the wiring melted together. I cut out the connector and hard wired the positive to positive and negative to negative seperately and insulated them very heavily. I am now keeping "ALL" the wiring away from eachother to make sure that never happens again. I hand-made a bracket to keep the controler away from the battery to eliminate some of the heat problem and it seems to be working. Good luck.

I would suggest contacting the seller. Sounds like it might be a bum battery.
