ok guys, I'm having a charging problem here.

Quick outline..

Received battery monday

Charged overnight Monday-Tuesday about 12am-12pm

Off charger Tuesday, was charged 100% fully with green led

Used until yesterday (Friday) around 4pm.

At 1% pulled the battery but didn't have time to charge it up fully

Left Zero Lemon out and put in OEM 3100 battery which was at about 37%

Plugged in to charge so I could have that one full as a back up and use it the rest of the day.

First weirdness...

I had my regular 3100 in the phone plugged in for at least 1.5-2 hours and it only charged up to about 63% and this was from 37% when I plugged it in.

Same OEM charger that I've always used. Came with the phone. Usually charges fast.

It was time to go out so I unplugged and used the phone for the evening. When I came home my 3100 was down to maybe around 40% and I plugged in while sitting around before bed so I could get it charged to full as a backup.

It was charging very slow. After another couple hours still only around 72%. It was time for bed and to put the Zero Lemon back in to charge over night but I really wanted the OEM battery full so it'd be ready for me if I need it. So this time I unplugged it from my charger and put it on the smart dock just to see if that would charge it faster. Identical adapter/cord but sitting on dock.

Went to lay down and wait a while for it and it charged up probably in less than an hour. Pulled from smart dock, shut down and put in the Zero Lemon. I decided to leave it off while charging overnight because people have said that's faster.

Grabbed my regular charger (came with the phone) plugged it in by my bed, normal place I always use it. Plugged in the phone, power off, with zero lemon (remember it was down to 1%) at 2:44am.

Up at about 10am still a red light. That's over 7 hours. I pushed the home button to see the little indicator and how full it said the battery was and it was only a little over half full.

What the heck? Did my charger just die or something?

Last night I was blaming the outlet by the couch. My husband had said he left his phone plugged in to that one overnight a couple nights ago and the phone had only charged to 70%.

The outlet by my bed is the one I have always used with no problem so I figured that was going to be fine. But 7 hours and only halfway charged is way too long even for the Zero Lemon isn't it?

Right now I have moved it from the bedroom back to the smart dock plug. Doesn't fit on the dock itself so I'm just using the cord. I still have it off because I was trying to not disturb it for it's first recharge cycle and I've already unplugged and moved it.

Sorry for the long post but this is weird and I'm wondering if my charger has just coincidentally died or if my phone is confused from having the 2 different batteries in it...

What do you think?

*edit*

Update... It's been plugged in to the charger that came with the smart dock for about 30 minutes and the meter has already moved up to about 3/4 full.

I guess this means my original charger is messed up? Randomly? :-\

Anyone else have this happen? I wonder if I could get a replacement as a warranty sort of thing...

*edit #2*

argh! It's after 1pm and it's still charging! that's another 3 hours that it's been going on the charger from the smart dock. Judging from the icon it seems to be at the 90% range...but come on! I guess if it was overnight I wouldn't have noticed...but it seemed to be more than 60% when I plugged it in around 10am and 3 hrs and it's still not finished? :(

Now I'm going to go out and leave it home charging. Going out of town on tuesday for 2 weeks. I need to resolve whatever is going on here...

The first night I charged it up (from whatever % it came with out of the box..)I had no problem...
