Purchased on June 25, 2014. I was alright with the 2-2.5 battery time. However, as of this week, I have no charge left. could it be dead already?

Fresh battery may have held a charge and been slightly refreshed in the computer. But the charging module in the computer may be faulty and finally failed. Try the usual things. Clean the contacts, make sure they're connecting. Check on line if there is a procedure online to reset the charger in the computer or have the unit checked.

This battery is working fine. My computer told me when the old battery did not recharge so I just ordered it. I keep my computer wired most of the time.

Try taking the battery out while plugged in and turned off. Turn it on without the battery installed. If it does not work the computer has a power supply problem most likely. I have replaced my power supply twice and my battery four times in 6 years.

My battery has lasted a long time. Don't know exactly how long but a lot longer than 9 months. Maybe you just had a bad battery.

Try removing battery and replacing it. If still no charge, yes, replacing the battery was worth it for us after several years of hard use.

Mine was not fully charged. Popped it in the charger for about 15 minutes and no worries.

No, I think you might have gotten a bad one. Mine has no problem charging and holding a charge for about 2 hours.

Might be a faulty or dead battery. You might have left it empty for too long.I own 5 of the 850 and 2 of yhe 860 and they work great. I do have a feeling one of my (7) batteries isnt holding a charge as well as the others but I havent run any tests yet.Typically I can do a 10 hour wedding on 2 batteries.

Wow i thought i was the only one... i bought it just over a year and a half and mine has stopped holding its charge aswell. I believe a new battery would solve the problem though. If you find one please let me know aswell.

I've only had mine for a few weeks. So far, it is keeping a charge. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but with as little thought as they put into the design I don't have much faith that they put their efforts into technology.

don't count on any new battery to be fully charged! mine had a charge but I'm sure it was not 100% charged. Once installed your system should start charging it.

I have had the battery less than a month. It is great so far. I would recommend that you find someone who has had the battery over a year. That is when my previous third-party battery from another company failed despite not being recharged much.

I had the same issue but have not had time to work the warranty issue. My battery only lasted a couple of weeks

Well it's difficult to say, It's only been 2 months since I've had it. And it still works now. My only issue with it is that once in a while it occurs when it wont charge even when it's plugged in. But because I'm a buffer in computers I can fix that issue. all I can say is that it's better than my old battery cause I basically had to have it plugged in. with this battery I dont... Did that answer your question? sorry if it didnt.

I purchased a battery in June 2014 which never charged right from the start so returned it for a refund. I did notice that the date on the battery was last year......

When I first got mine, I charged it for a least 24 hours. The On/Off switch should function easy to turn the device on/off. I am not sure WHAT is the problem with yours. It very well may be a defected device......?Sorry, Wish you luck...!

I am afraid I dont know. For me, once the battery was dead, it was dead. No amount of charging seemed to help.

It seems to hold a charge for several days, it's been 3 days sitting in my backpack now and it hasn't lost any charge. (Still showing 4/4 of its battery status lights) I'll keep an eye on this and get back with you towards the end if the week? If that's ok, and give you a better answer.

I think you must have gotten a faulty unit, mine lasts for at least a week on a full charge. I would contact support on that.
