I received my order "Pack Of 2 NP-FV70 Batteries & Battery Charger Kit for Sony". One of the two batteries doesn't power up. Suggestions?

I have received two separate orders and the batteries are all fine. I have been using them in my Camera for quite a while. the first time I charged them they took about 24 hrs but since then overnight seems to be all they need. I am afraid that is all I know about them.

Reading the other responses, I would suggest the same thing. Make sure the battery is connected to the electrical charging points on the charger. I had that problem. Paul Crutchley

Have you tried fully charging it in either charger or camcorder? Does it appear to be charging?What is voltage across the terminals?

Never had that problem. Try to use the battery and see how long it will last then you'll know if the charger is working properly, and if the batteries are fully charged or not.

I looked up your charger # & found 1 on ebay for 19.98. Do not know which other chargers might work. First thing I would check to see if the batteries are good if you have not already done that. I hope that info helps some. Good luck

Hi Thomas Q., I ordered mine and plugged it in and I believe it has charged the batteries. I will check tonight when I get home to see if they were fully charged and let you know. I do know the charger red light came on when I plugged it in which should signify it is working and charging.FD

I called Midland and they shipped another battery for mine. My charger was working when I received mine but the battery was not.

Hi BorisAn interesting question. I looked up under this link:http://battery-charger-review.toptenreviews.com/sony-quick-charger-review.htmlLook at the top ten review there.Have not tried any of those . I got the same problem so I use 2 chargers and just charge an extra.

Your batteries may not have been brand new. Otherwise the unit is defective. My unit has been working fine since I purchased it many months ago.

Sounds like the battery pack is no good! Did you try contacting the seller? Or try using another cable to charge it and see if that works.

Did you ever resolve this? I have just tried to recharge my batteries after long non use - one seems to have fully discharged and unit won't come on. I stated to charge second battery and it too is discharging. I have taken it off charger in case I lose it too. Love to know your outcome.

If the batteries get warm after a few hours, they are charging. If not, make sure you have power at the outlet. If so, get a new charger.

Exactly the same thing happened to me. If anyone knows of another brand or reseller that might actually sell good quality batteries it would be a good idea to hear from them.

Mine did not work either. I returned it and ordered batteries from another vendor. They haven't arrived yet. I suggest returning it.

I think this battery only works with equipment carrying the NP-FV series number. This type of battery has an internal circuit that communicates with the equipment it is powering, allowing it to power that same equipment. On Sony machines, batteries not of the NP-FV series, will result in the equipment not recognizing the battery, and will instruct you to replace it. Hope that helped.

That's a tough one to respond to. If it is a genuine Sony battery and there is no obvious damage, I would certainly try returning it. I don't know what the warranty is, but I would suspect it might be a year. Batteries are mass produced and like any mass produced item, you are bound to get a defect every now and then that makes it out of the factory. I've had no problem with mine, but yours is several months older.Good luck.

I had the same problem. New batteries did not make any difference. I sent it back to amazon and got my money back. Don't know why they keep selling these, I posted the problems I had with it months ago. I guess Amazon doesn't care. If someone sends it back they refund the money, but many don't send them back and amazon is ahead. George Jensen

I also ordered 2 of them in October and neither work. They're probably used batteries because there's nothing wrong with my charger. What a rip off.
