I purchased this in feb and it is only June and it has stopped charging over a week ago. Is this normal?

Understood, here is the deal...your Sony manual specifically states not to use non-Sony batteries and you did. So you went cheap and got what you paid for. Good luck with that.

There is not a yes or no answer without knowing your laptops battery settings. Have you checked you power options and or battery care settings? It may be set to stop charging at 50% (or some other %) to make your battery last longer. I keep mine at 50% because I rarely use the battery and when I do need it, I set it to charge 100% and back to 50% when I'm back on A/C power at home. If your Sony laptop has VAIO Care then go to the START MENU then All Programs and click on Vaio Control Center, you'll see all the options in that menu. Hope this helps.

I dont't know if its common but within 2 days of me using mine, it seemed like the charger had a short in it.

I never had a problem with it charging. Might be a defective device. It happens with mass produced products.

I bought mine in late February, and its now late June. I've had to charge it three times, including the initial charge. So that makes about 1.5 to two months per charge.

Yeah that's normal. Charge it overnight. That's actually a good sign. A slow charge is better. Same with mine. 6-8 hours.

When I got mine that didn't happen.About 7 months later it did stop charging tho. Id return it or have someone look at it. It might just be the charger, you never knew!

I've had mine for about 4 months, too, but haven't noticed any charging issues ... yet. They have a year guarantee so you might want to check with the manufacturer if you're experiencing problems.

You are doing nothing wrong. The same thing happened to me, it seemed to never fully charge. I went through the website I bought it on and reported the problem and started the return process. I returned the unit as instructed. They replaced the unit free of charge

I got mine over a year ago and have not had any charging problems. I am on it quite a lot and charge it once a day just as a habit but it would stay charged for hours.

it is normal. all charge will charge above 1.2V (NiMH rated) for a while.. and that 1.45V will drop back to 1.2~1.25 quickly after you use for 10min.

Sounds like it got wet. That doesn't mean it was damaged. If it charges and lasts a half day with use or a whole day on standby its prob working as well as mine does.

Never had a problem. Haven't charged mine in four months still has charge. I would try another charger power source to eliminate the charger from consideration.

Return it. I bought one in June and it barely lasted a month. Apparently this is pretty common with these replacements.

I have not experienced this. I purchased my charger in April 2014, I have been using it everyday sometimes for long hours, and it has been, and is working perfectly.

Mine just sat on my desk for about a week without being touched, and I plugged it in and it is charging. I don't know if its going to charge my phone all the way, but this is a very good quality battery and probably only dropped three or four percent in a week of being idle.

Mine was working great after few hours charging. After a year and half, it did not charge like yours. I used to buy used one and used every week, so I gues it died. I used for long and good. But if it is new, then you need refund it
