It is totally rechargeable, but when it runs down and shuts off, you need to charge it but not turn it on for a bit. Then UN plug it to turn it back on. Otherwise works great

It is not replaceable. And the battery life is horrible. Only around 2-3 hours.

I had the same problem, so I went to the electronics department in a couple of Wal-Marts and they basically told me that these cheap tablets aren't meant to last as long as we want them to. My tablet just shut off and it still dosen't work for the past 3 months. I'm just going to invest in a "NEW" reliable laptop so I can use it for school.

If you bought it from AAA Market - 9m4s9pwz4ydzqd5@marketplace.amazon.com I have had several issues with my tablet, and they have been very helpful. As a matter of fact, I just had to send my tablet back to them for the second time. I think that tablet herself is not that good. Hope this helps.

Mine didn't work well and the plug outlet broke so I returned it. I only had it a day. SMH I would buy one from somewhere like Best Buy or from wherever you got your tablet. Sorry for your frustration.

I just went through the warranty (1 year) on this tablet. Go to the Matricom website. Mail the damaged one back into them. I surprisingly got a new one within two weeks. Good Luck. Think you need the receipt etc.

I bought this tablet for my mom. She had the same issue. We ordered her one and its on its way. At this moment her tablet wont stay tho it says its charged. Hoping the new charger will help.

I enjoy the tablet. But the battery seems to deplete in less than 2 hrs. I have tried to adjust some of the settings (display lighting, applications, etc.) but still I am not able to figure out why it drains so fast. Otherwise, yes for the price, it is a nice tablet.

I don't know how long the battery lasted.. the tablet was so bad that I returned it. IT did have internal wi-fi and that worked but it would not run if I put more than two apps on it, and then even with only two added apps.. I needed to completely erase the added apps and reboot twice or more per day. It also had problems with the apps that were installed at the factory. It only knew Chinese time even I set it to my time zone. This tablet is really not worth the money or the time spent re-setting it. I'm sure the battery is probably the same poor quality.

I have been trying to find a manual as well besides the one that came with it. Try looking up the name of the tablet on line or go on YouTube there are lots of people on there that can help you operate it.Sorry don't know no other way

Don't exactly know what you mean by break. Am really happy with tablet BUT I am having trouble with the battery....tablet is great ! I did buy the $9.99 extended warranty to cover actual breakage and such. I plan on using the extended warranty for the battery because I missed the 'return' deadline.

I had the same problem. I have no idea what the answer is. I returned mine because the screen stopped working after less than a week. I really wanted to love this tablet.

I haven't had that problem but you can remove the battery and wipe the contacts and the tablet connections as well and make sure the battery is charged and replace all and try again hope that works for you.

I had an extremely similar issue a few months back--unfortunately I had to mail my tablet in for repair. it's been wonderful since. As long as you still have the original box you can call them and they'll take care of it free of charge. I don't think it's the charger though.

The battery suxxxxxxxxxx... I've had this thing for 3+ years and this thing dies fast. 3 to 4 hours tops of on screen time till you need to charge and yes the charge time is just plan rude,if you drain the battery then charge 8 to 12 hours till full..straight BS ill have over 60 % charge and the kid will watch youtube for 45 min and drain the battery to 0.. great tablet as far a specs but be warned .. >(

No !!!!!! I was told on the phone that they recieved my return tablet. And than when I did not get a replacement as expected I was told they did not recieve it. It also took me days to get through to them in the phone. I'm out the money and no tablet.

NO, you cannot replace the battery in this tablet. It is sealed up inside the unit and there is no way to get to the battery to replace it. So if the battery becomes defective it will have to be sent to the Samsung factory for replacement. Here is some great news: I have owned a Samsung Tab 2 and owned it for almost 3 years and the battery NEVER failed and always charged to 100 percent. Basically you will be OK and end up replacing the tablet before the battery fails. What you should do is charge up to 100 percent every night your tablet and as soon as the tablet (during the day) goes below 50 percent, charge it up again. For me, this keeps all of my tablet and phone batteries keep on charging to 100 percent and not going bad.

Hi Ellen, There is a battery inside just not sure how to get to it. Mine worked fine for a week then just stopped working. Next time I clean and put in new tablets Ill see if there is any way to take it apart and see what went wrong. Maybe a bit of water got inside, rust, short, lose wire, dead battery, etc. Hope someone else was able to get inside and can tell us. So many have the same problems you'd think the manu would step-up and help us all?
