I have had my G 3 for a couple of weeks and I am having trouble charging the batteries. After charging over night the batteries will last about 1 hour

Paul, check in your owners manual the charging procedure. It is rather complicated. You start it when G3 is turned off, switch charging with F7 button, then select the charging time with tuning knob. If you do all this magic with no effort - check your NiMh batteries. Very old batteries may function just one hour.

Sorry I cant help you. I use regular batteries in mine and they last a very long time.Perhaps you should use a separate charger. Kodak makes about the best chargers and batteries.

press the f7 button move the highlited numbers to 23 then press thepage time button tha battery on the display will start showing its charging...let it charge over nite....if you have done all these steps get new batteries they wont hold the charge ....im 3 and 1/2 years in and have used daily and have replaced with high qaulity rechargeble batteries...the charge always last 10 to 12 hours ....good luck

Mine works well after a charge and it last sometimes for two to three days depending on use.I use it at work while packing orders 1 to 2 hrs straight.Try charging it overnight perhaps it has not been fully charged.

On my LG G2 with a 3000mAh battery, it will fully charge 1 and a half times. I forgot to fully plug in my phone one night and it was totally dead. I fully charged it, ran it for a full day (very bad reception in my building which drains the battery faster than normal use) and charged on the way home . On the second charge, the phone went from 40% to 95% before I unplugged it. The Anker was not fully discharged but only had one light left on it's indicator...if this helps at all.

I think that the charging stops when has reached a full charge. I have charged batteries overnight and don't see any harm knowing that the batteries reached full charge sometime during the night.

I had the same problem and I changed the 2 AA batteries in the handset and problem solved. I had assumed because the LED display said it was fully charged it was, but the batteries didn't hold the charge. I was just about to buy a new phone when I figured that out!

I bought an extra batt from Amazon as well and both batteries, the one that came with the phone (tmob s3) and the recently purchased one work ok. I think the newer battery is flaky. It only shows about 80% after charging overnight. Doesn't say that there's circuitry in the charger to prevent overcharging, but it does take a looong time to charge. IMO the slow charging cycle extends the life of the battery. There's a battery charge indicator light that shows RED when charging and BLUE when the battery is fully charged. Hope that helps.

I charge them all the time. I'm sure it may take longer than lower output batteries but I have not measured the difference.

I just plug the batteries in for around 8 hours and use em. It works well for me. I hope this helps. I had also purchased new batteries and I charged them overnight the first time. GOOD LUCK

had the same problem at first but I discharged it completely then left it on changer overnight, about 4 hours more past the light turning green. Now it holds a charge long enough for 2 trims. DO NOT leave it on charge any longer than that.

No problem with mine, but it might not be your cradle. They had a batch of units that shipped with faulty batteries. I bought two of these radios - in one, the battery only charged enough for about 18 hours of use. The battery in the other unit didn't charge at all. Midland sent out free replacement batteries. Contact Midland at 816-241-8500.

My 2 cellphones use this kind of batteries. From my experience it takes about 3 to 4 hours to fully charge them. They seem to work fine for me.

The batteries I purchased have been charging and operating fine. I'm sorry yours are not working well.

The original batteries charge lasted about 3 1/2 hrs. The replacement batteries charge last 1- 1 1/2 hrs. Not worth the price.

Yes, my batteries lasted a short time also. I purchased rechargeable ones & the charge has lasted so far 4 months.

If you just got it, you may need to charge it longer than that for the first initial charge. I let mine charge for about 12 hours or more. Not the goal, I just didn't need it right then and I forgot about it. It worked fine when I used it about 3 weeks later after being in my purse all that time. And it fully charged my cell that was at 10%. Be sure to recharge it after use though. The light indicator should work also......And like the others replied, be sure to hold the button once you connect it to what you are charging.

Mine has been charging for 6 hours and still red, not sure what to do...Only time I saw green light was when I first put the batteries on the charger while still unplugged. I thought this was odd.

I charge mine over night and then use till it starts to slow down then over night again. I have forgotten about them in the charger for about three days, they were hot, and over the years it seems to shorten the life of the battery. so 8 or 10 hours for full charge.
