I purchased my three months ago and the charge seems fine. It is holding up well.

Yes it still works as of today. Just charged it for a bit and everything is still fine.

I've had mine for quite a while. I love it and have had no problems. Keeps a charge for hours! Maybe you got a bad one.

I have had no issues with my unit. I use it daily for phone calls and listening to music through my phone. I have forgotten to switch it off when getting out of the car, leaving it on overnight numerous times, and it still maintains plenty of charge. I haven't actually tried playing music from the radio in the car so I can't address that. I've had this for several months now and honestly have only plugged it into the charger 3 or 4 times. I'm super impressed with this product. Sounds like you received a bad one and need to exchange it for a new one.

I'm having the same experience as @JustMe. I bought this as replacement for my Toshiba, and initial it seemed to be just fine. But after using the battery for a while it does not hold a charge very well. I charge the battery to it's fullest, but it seems to drain very quickly. Like JustMe said, I almost always have to have the laptop plugged into AC in order to use it for more than 5 minutes. I'd suggest looking for a better replacement battery that will actually hold a charge for more than a few minutes.

It worked in our MIFI and we had no problem with it keeping charge - matter of fact we ordered 2 at the time and still using the first.Sorry for getting back to so late we've had a lot going on.

I haven't had any problems with it holding a charge. I have noticed if I don't use it for a few days it doesn't work. So I would suggest charging it every other day or so. If mine is charged it usually lasts a couple hours.

I have left mine for a month at a time and it has held a full charge, no problems!

Ni-Cad batteries are the older technology ones. NiMH and Lithium are the newer ones and should be purchased when possible. Also, charge your phone overnight then take it out of the charger until it needs charging again. Don't leave it in the charger stand all the time, this "cooks" the battery and shortens the life.

Hey Chuck, I bought these batteries about two months ago and they are awesome. I have a two year old EVO 4G and I still like it better then any other phone. The old batteries died and I almost traded in the phone. First I got cheap $2.00 batteries that claimed they were long lasting. The were bad and stopped working well within a couple days. Then I decided to get these batteries. My phones charge can last up to 3 days now. I have nothing to gain from this response, only good Karma if the batteries you get work as good as mine.

Can not really answer you on that ine. I would probably either try another charging unit to see if that was the problem or else send it back, I did find that the batter life is not what I had hoped it would be as it seemed to last about 3 hours but not much longer. That was/is my one disappointment with the unit...Barbara

It actually last awhile on a full charge. I've had mine last as little as a 10 days to lasting a full month and longer, depending on how much you use it. I was going to test out the using it while charging, but I seem to have misplaced the cord. This charge is still going from around 3 weeks or so ago. Give me 2 weeks and I tend to start losing things.Give me 2 weeks and I tend to start losing things. I'll find it and post back.

Glad you asked. It seems like mine has died after less than three months and perhaps 2 dozen charges. I had used it to charge my phone while I still used the phone. Not sure if that had anything to do with it. And unfortunately I can't find the box it came in so I probably can't return it, either. It was great while it lasted, but.... Does this help you make a decision? ;]

I bought 2 and immediately had a problem with one of them (which I returned). I do notice it doesn't hold a charge very long these days. I've had mine about 6 months but only use it on occasion. Good luck :)

I bought mine almost 1 year ago and it still works great, the charge lasts forever. You must of got a defective one, I would return it for another one.

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.

I returned this battery. It never would hold a charge from the very first day I purchased it. I bought the Max Boost; it's more expensive but worth the money. The Max Boost has not given me any problems at all; I've already upgraded and keep it on my phone at all times. Sry I could not answer your question.
