Mine appears to already be fully charged, so I can't tell yet. I'd have to run it down a while, I guess. Does yours not record anymore? I'm also not sure how it indicates when it is in the charging mode. If I learn more I'll get back to you.

The one I have uses batteries not sure if using rechargeable batteries the device would recharge them when in USB . Good ? I need to try that! But no if its the same version I have it doesn't have a built in lithium.

I don't use this recorder much but as I recall i thought it took an AAA battery or two. FYI.

Hi. I started charging mine as soon as I unboxed it. It had some charge to it but not 100%. So far mine is ok but I hope both of us didn't get a refurbished product. Maybe someone else will reply too.

Are you sure the charger is working, I would check that first? If so, also suggest you might need to disassemble it to determine the battery model and type, then search online accordingly. Sorry - not a positive answer to your question.

No and mine never worked. The battery wouldn't charge. It would work if I left it plugged in all the time but than what's the point

Mine came with a charge on the battery already. It lasted a long time. It takes about 8 hours for the device to discharge and fully re-charge once plugged in.

My brand new one was faulty. It was either the battery or the charger. I sent it back to Amazon (thanks Amazon) and replaced it with one that works

Plug it in and charge it. The charge just disappears with no use. After it charges for a time the front screen will come up and tell you the charging %. It will take a day to fully recharge.

No battery is fully charged, unless you buy it at a store, have them charge it overnight and pick it up the next day. This battery is a good one for the money in my opinion and should last a long time, but time will tell as I have only had it five months. And No it was not fully charged and I would say it was so discharged on arrival that waiting to recharge it much longer may have already shortened its life. Buy a CTek 3300 battery charger they are the best and has made some of my batteries I have last 10 years.

Is it possible the battery is not charged? The instructions suggest it is necessaryto 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 aboutthree days, then began indicating it should be replaced. The only other possibilitywould be an incorrect battery?Best regards,Sammy

It may be defective, or needs to be recharged; assuming it's the correct model number, and if it's installed properly. I would double check the model number of the battery, make sure the battery connections are clean, and make sure the battery is installed in the laptop properly. Once installed, make sure the battery gets a good maybe 12 hour charge. Then check to see if the battery works. Good luck.

Supposedly you plug it in. Mine charged once, then never charged again. Good luck....

It doesn't say charging.... it shows a plug by the battery %. When I put the cursor over the battery it say charging.

Must be defective in some way. I would send it back. I haven't had any problems charging mine. It charges fully and I am able to use it without it being plugged in for at least a few hours.

I don't know how you are using the charger. I've had mine since May. I only use it rarely when I am traveling and need the extra boost. If you been charging and discharging the battery daily, you might have created a memory effect in the battery. Lithium battery were not supposed to have the memory effect problem, but it has been found that is not completely true. I would contact Amazon/Jackery to see if they would replace the battery since it's been only a few weeks.

Make sure you are charging from the right port. If that's correct. .make sure it's charged for 24 hrs. ..If not successful. .its faulty. ..assuming that your charging a device has a good battery and the voltage is correct

Make sure the "on" switch is OFF when you plug it in to charge it, the red light will come ON if its charging. It wont charge if the switch is still "on", like I've done a couple times when I let it run out of power while I was watching it. I forgot to turn it "Off" and it didnt charge when I plugged it in to charge. If that doesnt work, then maybe your battery is defective and you could send it back if its under warrenty still.
