The one star reviews say the battery charge is non existent, is that true?

Our laptop had a small amount of charge left in it when we got it. The charger was included and the laptop charges fine.

Happened to me, don't know yet if it's the AC power cord or battery, but I've been discovering a fair amount of people having this problem.

I dnt knw because i bought it for my mom. I use my own so I have no idea how good the battery is, sorry.

Yes that's true! The battery is present, but it cannot charge at all. It stays at 0% and is basically on life support. Once the plug is pulled, it immediately shuts down completely

I have not experienced any of the issues described in the three one star reviews (several???). I purchased this item after reading third party reviews that gave it a "best buy." Upon receiving a bad battery, I would have returned the purchase to Amazon rather than pursue any other remedy.

don't bother , just return it . mine charged once then had a melt down , get your money back and buy a factory correct battery

don't count on any new battery to be fully charged! mine had a charge but I'm sure it was not 100% charged. Once installed your system should start charging it.

I don't remember if it had any charge when I got it, but I always fully charge the batteries so they are ready for use. I don't want them to die on me when I need them.

Please do not buy that one... It won't even hold a 25min charge and no one would ever respond to my emails... I hope this really helps and saves your money!

Hi. I started charging mine as soon as I unboxed it. It had some charge to it but not 100%. So far mine is ok but I hope both of us didn't get a refurbished product. Maybe someone else will reply too.

Two questions: is the charger functioning properly? And, is the battery old and no longer able to be charged?

I wouldn't buy one as one of the batteries didn't charge or work and I have not heard from Amazon on a former comment.

Mine was totally uncharged and I plugged it in and started using .. It was ok .. I dont know about indefinitely but certainly for those 10 minutes, it worked without a hitch.

Sure sounds like it. Theres no secret trick to this battery. Usually a battery would have at least little charge right out of the box .

You can charge that if you can get it to work. I was not able to charge a single battery with mine. It keeps shutting off like it is overloading or something. Total junk. Buy something better. You get wht you pay for.

The first thing I would check is wether or not the battery is charging when plugged into the wall charger. I had a problem charging my camera and through a process of elimination established the fact that the camera itself was bad. I found the same camera on Amazon and ordered it. If you have a National Camera Store near you or a Batteries Plus you could have them check the battery itself to see if it is in fact at half charge. Best Buy also has batteries but I don't think that they can check the charge.

Yes, a lousy one that takes many hours to charge.... You will want to get an upgraded one.

Yes, I'm not sure but I had it running for about 3 hours off the charger and I had no notification saying that the battery was low
