I found battery poor, only 3 times usage after full charging, why?

I think you must have gotten a faulty unit, mine lasts for at least a week on a full charge. I would contact support on that.

I think you may need to exchange it. Mine has never run out that quick. I get a very long battery run from it.

That's a good question, I have the same problem, but i think it is from lack of use. I have only used mine like 4 times....

Hi, I am having the same problem with mine. I am sure these are defective items that are being resold. I have to shut it down, power cord in, turn it back on and then manipulate the cord just so. Sometimes it takes a few tries. When if starts to charge, I leave if alone, because it will stop even if lightly tapped. The charge doesn't last very long though. Very disappointed. I should have returned it when I got it.

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

After my first charge began to decrease to one or two bars and I had not used it for a couple of days, I turned it on to check the battery level and it went to a green screen and then to a blank screen. I put it on the charger and got no reaction. Left it on charger for a couple of hours, still just a bland screen. Unplugged it and pushed in the reset button under the battery. Did this a couple of times and finally got the regular power up screen. Have charged battery several times since and all has continued to work well. Hope this helps. Try the reset several times if it doesn't work the first time.

I'm having the same issue here. Then it takes hours to fully charge it again.

Did everyone try charging the unit while it is powered off? It seems to make a different to me. I bought three(3) and so far all battery seemed to be decently averaged out around 2.5 hours or so (mainly net surfing and video conferencing) after few months of usage. Power on while charging seems like charges don't hold too well even it shows 100% charged. Try it out...it may make some different.

I don't have this netbook anymore, but if I remember correctly, I think I got 3 to 4 hours out of a full charge?

I'm sorry to hear that. Mine seems to be working fine. I've used mine for more than 6 minutes. Make sure it is fully charged before using it.

Poor, it reduces quickly after a few calls and messages. I have many features turned off most of the time, and can still see 10 and 20% battery life reductions in under an hour. Same for lots of surfing. I always have a charger with me. I am curious if maybe a new battery would improve the situation, however I have olny owned the phone for 3 months.

Take battery out charge even though it's fully charged but charge again for a few minutes then put battery back in and that should fix the problem. It shouldn't happen again that's what happened the first time I used my camera

I have had nothing but trouble with battery life on this "monster". I received it as a Christmas present, charged the battery for at least 3 hours initially, then used it for an hour or so. When I tried to use it again the next day, the battery was so low the device would not boot up. Recharged it to 100% capacity, closed it down to sleep mode, tried to use it again after about 24 hours. The battery was again completely discharged. This has happened 3 times. Who wants a device that you have to charge for 3 hours EVERY 24 hours in order to use it 6 - 8 hours?? I don't recommend anyone buying this item!

Anne, it's probably not usual, but I've only charged it once for 3 hours. Still going strong.

I believe it depends how you have your phone set, check to make sure when the phone is off that you enable the charging icon to appear. Always turn your phone off to let the battery charge the first 3 times, if this doesn't help than I believe you might have a bad battery.
