Maybe you just have a defective battery. Try ordering one on amazon.... i'm sure they have one. Before you do order, you probably already have but just in case, read the instructions and troubleshooting if there is any. Sorry if i couldn't help.

Mine is doing the same thing. Right out of the box. Not sure if it's the charger, the battery or the charge port. Neither USB nor the main adapter charge it at all.

Asus laptop have problems with connector. You need to bring your computer in to computer repair and have the inside part of connector saudered. The connector will continue to have problems charging, if you dont get it fixed. Even with the new battery, it needs to be charged all the time due to defective design inside connector. Sooner or later, you wont even be able to charge your laptop anymore.

NO. I was able to charge it once and now it won't charge again. I've tried several times and nothing. The computer tells me that it is permanently out of order. Don't buy this battery from here.

The charging unit does not appear to charge anymore (it's about a month old and maybe a week or two in use). I will try a third 9v battery to see if we can get it to charge later on today. However moments ago I tested for any voltage and expected to see none; to my surprise the charging unit appears to be allowing 22 - 23 volts through. Does anyone know if this charger is prone to problems? As soon as I locate the batteries that were delivered with this unit I will use them to test on this charger.If anyone has any info please email me at springfieldcomputers A T yahoo D O T com.

We have a dell inspiron, but it is a 1545. When we first got the battery, things went great but now it won't charge or show that it is charging. Don't know if it is the PC or the battery, so we are back to leaving it plug in all the time again.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525. I bought my battery for this type of computer. I also ordered a new charger as well, It works great after I charged my computer for 24 hrs. You may need to buy another charger. Did you charge yours????

If it's in a Dell, and you aren't using a Dell charger, that could be related. There is a test Dell makes with chargers, and if the charger doesn't pass, it doesn't charge. My battery has been working fine.

You charge it by plugging into your computer. There is no battery to change. Mine lasts a LONG time before needing to charge and it doesn't seem to take very long to get fully charged. So if yours doesn't work after charging a few hours then it is defective.

I get a message from the battery icon in Windows that says "no battery detected". Is there software that needs to be changed? Follow-up with Windows "help" says to engage the manufacture on this problem.....Battery is not charging and PC doesn't work unless plugged in and when plug is remove, it kills the PC so there is apparently no power from this battery? Note it did work initially with just the battery so it appears that the battery was drained down since and it is not being charged since it is not being "detected"??

None of them. But it may have been a problem with the laptop battery, which was new. None of the chargers I bought would charge the battery, so I think now it was the new battery. And then a few days ago the laptop died and went to heaven, so I'll never figure out what the problem was. Horrible laptop btw. Has been nothing but trouble since I bought it three years ago.

Hi Beth - It seems to work fine for me. I haven't noticed any difference in the recharging capability between this battery and the one that came with the computer.

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

There was a battery charger included with my laptop. I did have to ask for a new battery not long after my purchase because it stopped holding a charge.

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!

The simple act of installing the battery in your laptop and plugging your laptop into your wall outlet should charge the battery. sounds like yours is defective.

Have you followed the instructions on how to charge included with the battery? Otherwise, the battery may not fit your laptop.
