Hi all, I've just received my KMC1 and the battery came fully charged. Was it the same for you, or did I get a refurbished item? Thanks!

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.

Great timing with your question. I bought one of these a little while ago and went to use it for only the second time this past weekend.....(I use it as a back up when my main battery is depleted).....the first use was brief, as I only needed a few minutes battery time. This weekend, the battery was fully depleted in a matter of minutes (no more than 5 min) and on subsequent recharges, continues to work just as poorly. I am very disappointed. Don't know if this is the norm or not, but if it is, buyer beware.....

When i bought at the time, it was brand New. Refurbished means reconditioned. They get a used/malfunction product and give it a real treat. They should work ok and are less expansível.

Hey Zen, check out the discussion after "Anybody have a pink SD1100" ... talks about how it comes with battery and charger. Guess I could have just said that. I had the same question though...what comes in the box should be posted somewhere in the description. Perhaps Amazon wants you to wonder and end up buying the extra battery and the charger from them...make money off people who don't take time (or have time) to ask questions. On the bright side, maybe some mailroom clerk got a nice bump up to a corner office from that gem of a moneymaking idea.

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

No my box had been previously opened. I would say they are returns. I will register mine tomorrow and if it registers and I have my warranty I will be happy there. Of course, I will not register until I drop the battery in and I am sure it works!

Did you purchase the correct battery? I bought this one because it was exactly the same one the was in my laptop. I have had no problem with it at all. I kind of agree with the other person that you might have the wrong battery.

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

Is it not charging? I got the socket replaced, where you plug the charger in, and now it works fine. Plus I'm better about draining the battery completely before charging. I think they don't sell batts because it void the warranty if you open the case. I did order a replacement, though, from Screen Surgeons in Tucson, AZ. Got it in 3-4 days....

Hello, Naser. chances are, like me, you got a "reconditioned" battery, and not a brand new one from Toshiba directly, correct? As I had found out, after about a year from purchase, my Toshiba battery would only hold about 90 minutes of a charge, so I went to Amazon, and got a replacement. I was thrilled when I first charged it up and got over 3 hours of battery life! After 3-4 months, however, it dropped to less than an hour! I complained to the company here in CA. and was told that it was a reconditioned battery, which means that it is not as good as an original! If you want to pay over $100.00 for a new battery, contact Toshiba directly, but even they will not guarantee their batteries either! Sorry for your problems! Greg Stone

It either needs a lot of charging, or they sent you the wrong battery. I bought a "NEW" battery and they sent me a used one. I complained and they sent me another used battery. I never got a new battery like they described in the ad. The seller is probably just some c.u.n.t that works at a cell store and gets the batteries for free. That's why they can sell them for less than $5. They are all used batteries.

Sounds like possibly a faulty battery. Have you tried sticking a straight ion into the little reset hole? Sometimes that works. Also, did you charge it for the recommended time before the first use?

I was able to replace my battery. But right now its always blinking on one bar. It seems to be charging now though so I will be patient and let it charge. Hope fully bars will return. When its charging the bars blink right? Mine doesn't do that anymore. @Richard L How did it strip the battery case?

Ash and Mark are exactly right and I'd assume that refurbished one is exactly the same, but I'd do a chat with Amazon before buying it to make sure. I love mine!

I can't answer this, in my case once I use the charged battery, my charger/battery will not take a new charge, is this a normal problem and should I look for a charger?

Thanks everyone. However, I KNEW I where to press to turn it on. My problem was I charged it for 16 hours and when I pressed the button it did NOTHING. I messed around with it and then took the chance on charging it for about 12 more hours. I put it on the charger and smashed it in real hard and now I think it's working. Maybe I didn't have it fully in the charger. It seems weird that it just sits in there with no connection port. We'll see. I appreciate everyone taking the time to try and help. Happy Holidays.
