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.

Mine holds it's charge for a couple of days. You must have a faulty battery as mine has been awesome (touch wood)Did you charge it right up at first? After that should not stay on charger for longer than 4 hours.

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.

had the same problem at first but I discharged it completely then left it on changer overnight, about 4 hours more past the light turning green. Now it holds a charge long enough for 2 trims. DO NOT leave it on charge any longer than that.

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 charged them initially for about three hours. One of the batteries seems to take a charge overnight, but the other is pretty bad. I love the unit when it is working, but all too often, the battery goes dead without any warning. I've tried to get replacement batteries (thinking I may have a bad one), but can't find them anywhere. This is totally unacceptable! If anyone knows where to get replacements, please let me know.

It has been awhile, but initial charge of 40 hours is too much. You have a defective product. Possibly a bad battery.

a fully dead battery might have other problems, like shorted cells, or something else that might affect it's ability take a full charge. But as far as the battery charger goes it should charge overnight, it's best i've ever had

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!

I myself only had to charge my battery abt an hour to fully charge it. You might have received a bad battery. But try the 24 hour charge before returning it.

I've usually charged mine over night, swapping batteries every few days. It seems to me that length of time to full charge would be related to how far the battery has been depleated.

Not sure. I found that if u let the battery pack die all the way down, it may never hold a charge. Just had that happen a few days ago. Now have to get new battery. Would have thought that it would have lasted much longer. See if yours hold a full charge.

I haven't had any problems with it holding a charge. I have noticed if I don't use it for a few days it doesn't work. So I would suggest charging it every other day or so. If mine is charged it usually lasts a couple hours.

I have had no problems.I charged it fully (overnight) when I received it and recharge about once a week.It's never run out. Contact customer service.

My battery works great, all day and I use it a lot. If you are sure that your battery charger is working, then you must have a bad battery. My battery came to me and had over half a charge when I got it. Exchange it and you will end up happy with the extended life battery.

For some reason, I was not able to fully charge the battery. I can run it on battery for about two to three hours.
