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.

To Be honest I suggest you buy another battery. This battery doesn't last very long. I have had it for a month and the maximum charge for this is %77 now. If your short on cash, save up and buy a better battery.

i belive, you did everything correctly. It is something worng to the battery. Try to recharge again, just charge it whole night and try again. If problem is not resolved, just send it back, if its possible

Have not have problem with battery. I use for about 10 hours before I recharge it. I remember when I was setting things up, it said for certain problems to reprogram it. Read instructions. Did you charge it long enough at first?

It didn't take that long to charge my new battery. I would think a few hours would be good. Maybe you got a new battery that was bad?? Hope this helps...

It literally only lasts 10 min. I have one and I have to keep it plugged in 24/7 and that's with a brand new battery that they've sent me in themselves. I had to get a refund. Don't buy this computer please... I'm saving you money by telling you this.

on a full charge, my battery - the original that came with the computer, lasts 2-4 days. But I shut mine down at night, so it's not running 24/7. But it is on when I'm working.

I just had an issue with mine not charging. It got to zero and when I rebooted with it plug into the USB charger, I could see the little lighting bolt on the battery indicating it was trying to charge, but it shut off because of low batter. Kind of a Catch-22. I tried this cycle a few times and was fed up, so I decided to unplug it and let it 'die down' for half a day. Then I plugged it back in and the screen showed me that it was charging! I let it charge up for a few hours and it started up and continued to charge. If you are having charging issues, try letting it run out and "die", then plug it in. Worked for me, YMMV. I just had an issue with mine not charging.

I'd start with a new battery....and since it has a memory you will need to let it run all the down in order to get a full charge and then leave on the charger about 3 hours maximum time.

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.

It might be defective and has to be exchanged. I purchased the same battery more than 6 months ago and I had no problems with it so far. I traveled a lot with my netbook and it would provide me at least 4-5 h of work from one charge every time.

It sounds like something may be defective or the battery is dying out, as it should only take a couple hours to charge. I cannot recall it taking more than hours. You may want to use a power block instead of a computer to charge it to make sure the problem isn't with say a weak laptop battery.

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.

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.

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 had issues with my battery because I kept it charged when not in use. I found out you should NOT keep it charged; rather keep it in the vac until it dies and then recharge, this will extend the life of the battery. I bought a new battery and that solved my problem. Good luck.

It is possible the battery though new, is not fully charged. Give it 24 hours. If the battery is good(should be if new) and the charging circuit of the ADT device is in good operating condition, the battery will charge and the error will clear. It took 24-48 hours on our ADT system for the errors to clear after the battery swap was performed. They did clear.
