Question: Battery is not recharging after first install & running down. Power cord tested fine. Indicator stays at '18% plugged in, not charging'. Advice?
Document: Bought this last October and at first it did work, but now just a few months later it shows that it's charged, but the laptop will not run without the power cord plugged in. I've switched back to using the original battery that doesn't hold much charge as even that old worn out one is better than this one.
I got this battery yesterday. It had about 60% charge when I first installed it. I let it charge till 100%. My laptop turned off without any warning when it discharged to 62%. Even though my system displays plugged in and charging, it's still stuck at 62%. Now, if I remove the power cord my system will switch off immediately.
You should run your battery through its full cycle a couple of times when you first get it. That means running the battery all of the way down and then recharging it. When you first put your battery in, the sensor may indicate that it is fully charged but until you run it through a couple of cycles you shouldn't think that your meter is accurate.Currently, if I'm playing games heavily this battery will last about two hours.
I had no issues installing to getting the battery when it said. The battery didn't &#34;click&#34; in like the old one, but it stays in just fine. Battery life is about the same as OEM.
The battery replacement was just what I needed to upgrade my Dell laptop. Order and delivery was excellent. With the battery upgrade I can use my pc for hours without plupging in the power cord.
This was great for a whole month; held a nice long charge. However, one day it just stopped recharging. Doesn't matter which of my power cords I use, the battery will not recharge, and now I'm back to where I was the day before I bought this item.
When I first got this replacement battery it would not charge. My problem was not the battery. The battery was perfect, the problem was with the cord to my computer. When I corrected that everything is working great. I want to thank everyone connected with Amazon, and the companies you recommend.Thank you very much.
Very satisfied up to now with the time available without recharging. Hope it remains this way for long.!. This time I did the initial full charge and unplugged until it was empty, and then fully recharged again. I am following this routine now with this new battery because I used my laptop plugged most of the time on my old battery and it was detreimental to battery preservation.
Replacement for my Dell Inspiron 1525. Works great. I don't feel it holds the charge very long...max would be about 40 minutes, but it's always plugged in anyway. I notice the short life when the cord detaches from the computer. Then again, maybe this has to do with the age of my laptop. (?)
When this battery arrived it had about a 30% charge on it already. I quickly noticed that it wouldn't charge and didn't hold the charge it already had even though it was plugged into another power source.
Answer: Mine never worked at all.  My advice would be to do like I did: request a refund, then throw this battery in the garbage and spend a few bucks on an Anker or other decent brand. :-)  Seriously, you may want to remove the battery while the computer is plugged in and see if it changes anything on the status display.  If it changes, you know the battery is bad, if not, I would suspect a problem with the computer.
