Battery is gone after 6 months: Is it normal that a battery life is so short?

Have a similar problem-battery says charging but us always 0% and I can not unplug without it turning off. Called Asus-surprise they only warrenty the battery for 6 months. Very frustrating.

That's odd... I used mine for over a year before the batt died on me. Maybe you can contact their technical team and see what they say.

My battery began losing charge after 9 mo. It is now exactly 1 year since I purchased it and it runs for 20 minutes. I did the reset thing but same result.

I haven't changed the batteries in 6 months in mine, and their working fine. I use them all most every day.I hope this helps.

I'd guessitmate about 6 months. It's not an issue, in general, I don't feel like I am putting in a new battery often.

The battery lasted a total of six thirty-minute "sessions" for me. The battery is not rechargeable.

The battery I got didn't last too long. About 5 or 6 months. Perhaps a fresh battery would last longer though!

I haven't had too much experience with the battery as I usually have it plugged in. But it seems to last around 6 hours depending on what you do

I just replaced the battery in 1 of 2 units that I have when it displayed the low battery indicator. That unit was installed June 2008, and now it's November 2014, 6 years on a battery. I have a second unit that was installed July 2008, and the battery died January 2010. I tested that replaced battery now, and it still tests as good. This is already nearly 5 years on the replacement battery so far, therefore I assume the issue with the first one was a weak initial battery, and not the unit itself.

My battery has lasted a long time. Don't know exactly how long but a lot longer than 9 months. Maybe you just had a bad battery.

I can't say over the long-term, but I have had mine for three months, I use it everyday for hours at a time, and I have not yet had to replace the battery.

Yeah that's normal. Charge it overnight. That's actually a good sign. A slow charge is better. Same with mine. 6-8 hours.

I agree. Send it back. Mine has been perfect. Changed the battery once and it works great.

Has anyone had problems with the battery, not holding a charge, or it acquiring a memory-effect where the length of battery time decreases as it gets older?

The battery is internal and can only be plugged in for six hours at a time. If its plugged in too long, it will short out.

As far as I know, the battery can't be replaced. It's good for about 6 months.... hope this helps.............
