The life of any battery is limited. I am keeping the unit plugged in for the time I have to used it.

I got a similar unit recently and when I plugged it in, it too showed 100% charged. However, I unplugged the charger and checked the battery voltage which instantly dropped to under 6V. So that told me that the battery wasn't accepting a charge and the "100%" reading was coming from the charger just while plugged in. So I left it plugged in and after an hour it did start accepting a charge and the reading dropped to 60% or such. So it does take at least 12 hours, after that if it starts displaying 100% it probably is charged.

i think you should start with trying another charger. since its a micro-usb port it shouldnt be too much of a problem finding one. you should also try different sockets... the electrical output may differ a little bit. if the problem still persists, i assume its the battery. try discharging it and (however) charge it again up to 100%. your next option would be buying another battery... good luck!

Nope. This might be a knock off styled battery charger, or the batter itself might be broke. Do you have any other batteries to try out to see if it's the charger itself or the battery? Someone you can borrow from? Do some testing to pin down what it is that isn't working here. Good luck.

Claudio ... I have the same problem .. I purchased 2 new batteries and a new charger ... it's the computer and it could be several different things .. one is the board ... I have mine totally apart ... if I can figure anything out I'll let you know ... there is a test dell says you can run but you need a charged battery to perform the test ... that figures ... if you find out how to charge the battery without it in the laptop let me know !!!

I would immediately send it back. It has to be defective. My two batteries work just fine. They take the charge and hold it until you are ready to use them. Sorry to hear you had trouble. These are hi-tech units and I do suppose that they are a little temperamental.

I suspect that the battery could be an issue. If the new batter does not cure the problem, make sure the new battery is full of power. If it is, you might consider securing a replacement unit. Especially if you are still under warranty. Hope this helps.

I would replace the charger. If you have a new battery, the charger you have now may have a defect. My laptop is 7 years old with original battery. But so far it's been working fine with this charger that was indeed very inexpensive.

Mine is doing the same thing. Right out of the box. Not sure if it's the charger, the battery or the charge port. Neither USB nor the main adapter charge it at all.

I think you may have gotten a defect battery because I only charged mine for an hour or 2 when I first got it. (I disconnected it because the charged light turned green) and I was able to use it all day yesterday and today. I still haven't gotten the low batter indicator.

We are in the same boat b/c the charger went missing. Contact Power wheels. They should have stock battery chargers.

Are you sure the charger is working, I would check that first? If so, also suggest you might need to disassemble it to determine the battery model and type, then search online accordingly. Sorry - not a positive answer to your question.

The battery might just be fully charged. That was the case with mine.Use the battery a bit then plug it back into the charger. Make sure the charger is plugged into the USB port.

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.

Are you positive it is the cord and not the battery? A dead battery will not charge. If you're certain it's the cord, contact the manufacturer on the warranty and tell them what happened. I have had this cord for a couple of months and so far, no problems. It might just be your cord is defective. If you're not sure it's not the battery, you can tell by the little battery icon in the task menu tray on the bottom right of the screen when the cord is plugged in. If there is a plug next to it but it's not charging, it's likely your battery needs to be replaced. Also, make sure the cord is fully connected at every juncture. My cord tends to slip out of the outlet sometimes and the connection to the power box loosens sometimes. Another thing to look for is the green light on the power box. If that is on when it is plugged in, the cord is still getting power. If that's off, it's dead. If you want the cord "asap", you will have to order another one. Not likely the manufacturer will act quickly. They aren't expensive. You might end up spending just as much in shipping costs. If the battery is the problem, they sell the battery on Amazon too. Just turn off your computer and remove the battery. The model number on the battery should be there. Just type it into the search window on Amazon and it will come up. I bought both within the last 9 months. One more thing. Make absolutely sure the cord you are using is for your computer. If you still have it, check the model number on the cord that came with the computer. Type it into the Amazon search window. I was using the wrong power cord for a while and it died and I got this one because it was the exact model number of the one that came with my laptop.

I read that these batteries, if not used frequently used, tend to go dormant and the chargers will not charge. Need to connect battery to a regular battery charger to re-energize. Recommend you try to charge another battery or investigate the dormant battery issue for your specific equipment. Hope this helps.

Fortunately I have not had this problem. I would suggest attaching it to the charger one more time to see if you can get it to charge. Otherwise I would return it for an exchange. I bought an extra battery and have had no problems with the charging of either one.
